Question of Purity

LoverofDDRs · 03-11-2013, 03:18 PM

Hello all,

I imported last year a DDR of working line. He is papered, pedigreed, and everything.

The pedigree is quite impressive so for that matter I won't name him and the kennel just yet.

However, my question is.

Out of curosity and for fun, I did one of those DNA tests to see if your dog is a mutt or not. Basically what breeds are in your dog.

I used Wisdom Panel which appears to be one of the better opinions.

My question is, is should I be concerned when GSD wasn't the only predominant breed in my boy's supposed DNA results?

Those DND testers/testings are shady at best... I wouldnt trust them

So what other breeds did the panel claim??
There is a reason those tests say not for purebred dogs, lol

Well aware of that, initial comment said done out for fun.

Reason why I did it, I wasn't questioning the breeding or pedigree, it's Donner des Himmels stature. Slightly bigger than the last DDR I had when Jesus was the same age - I've always had imported DDRs who was also a male.

As for the other breeds included
Akita and Collie. And English Mastiff??

I almost died laughing.

Akita and Collie and Mastiff... oh my!

That's interesting as the more recent genetic findings are showing Shepherds to be in the Mastiff category.
