A friend recently adopted a puppy (pictured above) from Homeward Bound Dog Rescue. What is Quinn? Until recently, it was anyone's guess.
Canine Heritage came to the rescue. It is dog DNA testing. Who knew? It's an easy and relatively inexpensive test.
You order the kit for around $100.00 (there are less expensive options, which test fewer breeds), take a cheek swab of your dog (the difficultly of this step will vary by dog) and send it in. A couple of weeks later, you get a certificate with the breed DNA analysis back.
Quinn was determined to be a mix of Collie, Labrador Retriever and .... Italian Greyhound. How did the Italian greyhound get in there? It's anyone's guess. But Quinn is an Italian Colbrador.
If you have been forever wondering about exactly what breeds have combined to create your best friend, give Canine Heritage a try.
