Interested in testing your dog but don't know what to expect? Want to show off Fido's heritage? Just curious about the whole deal? You've come to the right place!

This is a subreddit devoted to the genetic evaluation of questionable mutts and purebreds alike. Post an album of your dog's DNA test results and please include pictures of him/her!

Relevant self-posts and questions regarding DNA testing are encouraged.
