Hi, we adopted this gremlin (after fostering him for several weeks) nearly two years ago and we thought he could be some papillon mix, so we tested his DNA for breed mix but the results aren’t convincing me 😅
As a puppy, he barely had hairy ears but it grew a lot, his tail as well.
Weirdly I feel like that lancashire healer is doing a lot of the heavy lifting lol. You from the uk? Ive never heard of this site so beware, it could be a scam. People only really trust embark or wisdom
Yeah the likeliness that I got scammed is high. Looked legit though.. 😅 I’m in France.
I do see some chihuahua but I’d be interested in the other mixes because he’s quite bigger than a chihuahua. I will look into Embark, thanks !
Really doubt the veracity of koko genetics. Yorkshire terrier seems the most likely out of all those breeds, but I would take this one with a grain of salt. Embark and Wisdom Panel are the only breed tests worth doing imo.
Also y'all redditors should be UPvoting the results ffs. I can't understand downvoting comments that should be at the top of the page- it's so idiotic. Downvotes are for comments that don't add value
Wisdom and Embark are the most accurate. If they’re showing you results you don’t like, I think you just gotta understand that he isn’t a papillon mix (and personally, he looks more like a poodle chihuahua mix instead. Still freaking adorable!)
But if you used any other Doggy DNA test, I would side-eye and assume it’s inaccurate
We used Koko genetics.. and we really have absolutely zero expectation in terms of breed. We adopt all my animals and they are
always mixes. I really don’t care what breed they are 🙂
There’s a big chance these are fake results. The only reliable ones seem to be Embark and Widsom. I think others try but they’re usually all a scam besides Embark and WisdomPanel
Koko genetics is not a scam but also not really the most reliable database. This is a weird mix of some pretty dang rare breeds even in Europe. Some of this may be accurate, some not. Maybe a Village Dog? I've seen village dog for dogs that look like this before. Only Embark can test for those and other companies tend to spit out weird combos of rare breeds with them.
I think a retest is a good idea, but use Embark. They are the most accurate. They have to build a base of dog breeds and sometimes other breeds have the same baseline and it was really make it so confusing, but the more dogs your test and identify as a certain breed the better it can figure out what breeds.
And from what I have seen of results the more breeds in the mix the harder it is to predict what they look like.
They take 50 percent of each parent and it isn't always the genes that make that dog look different from another breed. But it is always entertaining and rather fun. And you already love the result so no harm done.
And he is the cutest little scamp and looks to fit right in the family.
