 Waste of money ... December 8, 2008
I bought this test for 2 of my dogs recently. They are pretty silly ... One of my dogs looks just like a Border Collie and is actually a Beagle mix is all we know - it came back Level 2 Keeshond and Yorkshire Terrier, Level 3 Airdale Terrier, Border Collie and Newfoundland. No Beagle. The next pup is a Husky mix that also looks like a collie (one parent was known half husky) - the results on this one were Level 2 Minature Pincher, Level 3 Chow Chow and Level 4 Collie. So on both dogs, the ONLY known breeds in both of them did not show up at all. What's the point??? It's the same as spinning a wheel of 100 breeds and making it all up.
 I question the accuracy of this test November 29, 2008

It is a good idea but I don't think it is accurate at this time. I ran this test on three of my mix breed dogs.
Dog #1) The test was not able to determine much at all about the dog I know the least about though they did offer to retest later when their database gets better. I am guessing that dog is 13 or 14 so he probably won't be around for that.
Dog #2) The person who gave us this dog said she came from a home with a German Shepherd bitch and a male Shar Pei. The were quite sure that her mother was the German Shepherd. The test came back with no indication of German Shepherd or SharPei though it did mention Chow, Shih Tzu, Akita and Saluki so I guess it was sort of close. I still can't figure out why they could not detect German Shepherd.
Dog #3) This dog really looks like a Shar Pei mix since he has loose skin, a blue tongue and odd shaped feet. He was tested 3 times and the lab claimed we never were able to send enough DNA to do the analysis. My husband threw the final set of swabs away in disgust. I am kicking myself because I let him do that. I should have sent them back with DNA from my AKC registered German Shepherd just to see what would come back.
 So Much Fun! November 24, 2008

I got this kit for my pitbull mix. Clearly pitbulls are not yet one of the breeds that they test for, but the primary came back as "unidentified terrier" so I'm positive one of her parents was pure pit. The secondary came back as staffordshire terrier, and the "in the mix" was the interesting part. It looks like some spunky little italian grey hound mixed with a staffordshire terrier at some point. Some attributes I thought were because my dog is rescued and was clearly mistreated, I am now thinking may be part of the italian greyhound in her. She's extra sensitive, smaller than most pits, and is extremely submissive.
The Perfect Mix November 20, 2008

We always wondered what breeds mixed together to make our perfect mutt rescued from the Washington Animal Rescue League. Thanks to the Canine Heritage Test, we finally know!! We were surprised to find out that our adorable "Drake" was a husky, lab and spaniel mix. We always thought he was mostly border collie, but now that we know his DNA, the tan circles around his eyes are consistent with the husky breed. While the results were not what we had anticipated, it is still fun to finally know and to be able to tell people when they ask "What Kind of dog is that?". Having an easy test like this may bring an end to the the word "mutt". Everyone can now find out easily, efficiently and cost effectively what the DNA of their dog is. Thank you!!!!
Finally, an Answer to "What is he?" November 12, 2008

People always stop us to ask "what breed" our cute little adopted mutt is. Wanting to finally have an answer, we decided to do a DNA breed test. We had been reading/hearing about various companies but finally chose Canine Heritage. Their test seemed to be much more involved and thorough, justifying the higher price tag. We wanted accuracy. Recommendations from friends/relatives were also the deciding factor. It's very easy to use (cheek swab, mailer, email updates). When we adopted Rudi from the shelter, they guessed he was Yorkie/Terrier, but I didn't see that in him. Other people on the street guessed long hair Chihauhau, probably because of his small size, but he didn't really have a Chihauhau face or temperment.Rudi's test result's said that he had English Coon Hound and a bit of Daschund and English Toy Spaniel. This made alot of sense regarding his athleticism, temperment and physical features. It was great to finally give his fan club the answer to "What is he?"
