How many times have you looked at your dog and tried to figure out what breeds of dogs he came from? Have you ever seen him do something such as herding and guessed that he must have some herding dog in him? Does he have peculiar habits that you can not understand? There is a way to help you answer so many questions that you may have about your best friend. You can have a dog breed dna test run on your dog and find our exactly what his breed history is and get many answers regarding behavior, potential sizes, coats and so much more. It is non-obtrusive because it only involves a mouth swab and you mail it off. We work with many dogs not to mention my own group and there have been so many times (with rescues more often then not) that we have to guess at the breeds. We usually lead with the bred that is most obvious and guess the rest. I am sure you have heard people called a dog a shepard mix or a lab mix. Those questions would be answered and you can better understand your dog and his behaviors. The best part of this to me is you can better deal with your dogs needs by knowing as much about him as you can. They not only tell you what breeds are involved but how prodominant each breed is with a percentage. This information could help you to watch for potential health problems or even curb off potential aggression issues. There are different breeds that you have to train with a different technique then others and this would help tremendously with that process. For instance all puppies play too rough from time to time but if you know you have a (typically) bully breed you have to stop the rough play much quicker and teach them to play nice! We all love our dogs and now we can find our more about the dogs we love!
