What's this?

We've debated doing that, but probably won't for a couple of reasons

1) Seems very likely to be not terribly accurate. The human ones are crap, and I'd suspect the dog ones are worse. Most of the current breeds have their roots (fairly recently) in other breeds. Seems to me those tests would have trouble distinguishing.

2) Not sure the data would be useful for us. It's not like we'd say, oh no....our dog has 3% of X breed and 7% of Y breed, we have to get rid of her! And since mixed breeds generally don't have a lot of the genetic issues that are due to inbreeding, a DNA medical profile doesn't seem necessary.
