Every owner of a mixed breed dog has wondered “What is he?” Well, now you can get an answer. There are several DNA tests available to identify what breeds make up your fabulous pooch. Most involve a painless cheek swab or blood sample and voila…two weeks later you will know if the reason Fido herds you around the house is because he is part Border Collie or the reason he swims until the brink of exhaustion is due to his Labrador Retriever DNA.

Besides the fun of knowing where some of your dog’s traits come from, pet owners can use these results to better understand their dog’s behavior and to screen for diseases that affect certain dog breeds. For more information on specific DNA tests, visit these sites:
