I was reading about Eileen's new boy Merlin and the initial confusion about his breed and was browsing the net(as you do ) goodness knows what I searched on but I came across this: http://www.blackdogdna.com Apart from the cost perhaps the rescue centre could have done with a kit I think it's a great idea and wish such a thing had existed for our first girl,Claude,whose exact parentage we couldn't begin to guess...
That's very interesting, though not knowing the exact parentage is part of the fun of a mixed breed dog haha But I can see where it would come in handy figuring out why your dog acts a certain way or catering more to the dog's needs.
Thanks for the link. I found it very interesting. After the confusion with Merlin I had another look at the Dog's Trust website and came across quite a few mistakes they've made with breeds. Here's one glaringly obvious one: This is Jess who they say is a Bloodhound. THIS is a Bloodhound. I don't think it's a DNA test they need it's an eye test!!
Oh boy,..that trust is not to be trusted,..its the eyes i guess. Reminds me of the Sketch with the Two Ronnies,.. Its A Duck
