Wisdom Panel Breed Discovery Dog DNA Test Kit - Most Accurate Breed ID | Behaviours | MDR1 | Ancestry | Relatives

Excellent and quick service. Easy to understand results.

I've purchased this product twice now for both my cross breed dogs & the results are amazing! Gives you lots of different results & information concerning your dog. I would highly recommend.

I was so excited to try this, and it did not disappoint! Super easy to use just a quick swab, send it in, and a couple of weeks later, I got a full breakdown of my dog’s breed and health.

We brought an adorable puppy at 12 weeks old being told he was a Springer cross Cocker Spaniel- which legitimately he could have been with his long ears and mental behaviour. As he has grown over the past months (he is 11 months now) his legs got so long, his chest deep and waist slim, with a long feathered tail & backs of his legs and he grew in to his ears we realised this very fast and independent dog wasnt all he was made out to be!After many speculations and guesses, I needed to know what was in this lovely animals genes- so that I could understand his behaviour and better tailor the training I was doing to play to his natural instincts.The test arrived the following day, and was easy to complete- a quick swab in the cheeks- the dog thought it was a game at first but other than that it was simple. Popped it in the post and eagerly watched the online tracker to see what was happening. As the return address was in the UK I was surprised when it was over a week and still showed as 'not received'. I contacted the organisation who promptly explained that the sample was sent on to a lab in USA. A few days later it arrived- although after that the status didnt change again until the day I was emailed the results.I was so impressed with the level of detail in the report- it tracked our dogs genes back to his great grandparents. Each breed found has a fact sheet which explains the history of the breed, and statistics. It comes with a family tree and certificate!So, what is he? 50% English Springer Spaniel (all of his great and grand parents on one side) but the other 50% wasn't Cocker! He is 25% grey hound and 20% mixed breed. The test wasn't able to work out what the 'mixed breed' part was because it was too diluted but gave indications of what he is likely to be. I'd disagree with most of the suggested breeds- (Giant Schnauzer or Great Pyrenees for example!) maybe present in his DNA but not displayed in his appearance or behaviour- but Saluki is on there which is what I'd say was very likely.Anyway, in summary- definitely do it if you want to know about the unknown dog in your life's history. It'll satisfy curiosity if nothing else!!

Very useful test, though it's recommended you read up on what the analysis actually means. Genetics are crazy complicated (well, in my humble opinion anyway) and it takes a little 'getting your head around' the results.It's a shame that you can only get the 2.0 version of the test in the UK, whereas you can get 3.0 in the US (except you can't, because they won't ship outside the US). The 3.0 version also looks at the MDR1 gene, which can literally be a life-saving piece of information.Plenty of people (presumably in the US) seem to be given percentages of the breeds detected in their samples. I would've like that, but didn't get them.The swabs arrived promptly. Swabbing is easy and you get two of them, one for each cheek. I'd strongly recommend reading the instructions, and perhaps even watching a youtube video, just to ensure you're comfortable with how to do it. Place the swab in the cheek, and give it a good, firm-ish twirl for about 15 seconds. And I join many other in recommending you do this first thing in the morning, before their breakfast.You will be required to create an account on the Wisdom Panel website. This will give you an activation code for the sample, but it's also where you'll eventually get your results (though a downloadable, full-colour PDF file). You can also track the progress of the analysis. Our took around 3 weeks.

I had a lot of scepticism from ppl about doing my 2 dogs DNA, seen comments online about sending human sample and it coming back as collie cross etc. Well maybe it was with other cheaper brand/companies. As my girls results were spot on, made so much sense to their traits as well. I didnt send any photos ( you have a choice). Kept informed of progress, so easy to do. And so much info. Have added photos after receiving results as you even get info on family relatives . There are other companies bit cheaper, but maybe thats where bad reviews have arisen from. All in all i think Wisdom Panel is value for money.

Hesitant to pay for this type of test as quite pricey. We didn’t send in a picture of our dog before the test but the results came back in about two weeks and they identified all the breeds in our dogs with some unexpected ones too.Also linked in were some pictures of distant relatives and some looked the spitting image of our dog so I know that the tests and procedures are scrutinised and correct.Very good product and excellent and accurate results
