i had my mutt done. i looked at the reviews, and the cheap 1s r just rip offs. there was 1 that made u send a pic, so they just guessed based on the pics. clever wags sent a sample from their pedigreed poodle, but a pic of a mutt.
but it’s also garbage in- garbage out. they have tiny databases.

i used embark, which uses the cornell data base. it’s the most comprehensive in the world.
he wasnt a wheaton terrier x, like the shelter said, but i knew that when he hit 70lbs. he’s 110 now.
everyone guesses he’s a lab, but he’s half great pyrenesse. the only 1 who guessed that when he was a puppy was my vet’s office manager.
