It has been estimated that there are over 400 breeds of dogs in the world, this does not include mixed breeds. In the past it has been almost impossible for mixed breed owners to know exactly which breed types make up their dog. This is only possible through DNA analysis as this is where the dog’s genetic information is stored.

What Breed Is My Dog? can now tell mixed breed owners which types of breed make up their canine companion. By knowing this information it will allow the owner to become more familiar with the dog’s genetics and can help owners to understand their behaviour. Breeds can suffer from genetic disorders, knowing the ancestry of the dog could give owners the knowledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

See below story from Tracey:Bull Terrier with some Papillion and some　Collie.

In fact Axel is a red & white Staffordshire bull terrier with huge erect ears, which is why everyone was so curious.　When axel was younger he looked like any other Staffie pup, with perfectly normal ‘rose ears’ but after a couple of months　they had grown totally out of proportion.　 This prompted much hilarity and　many comments and arguments as to what secrets his ancestors held.　 I asked at my vets about DNA and they could not help, so I searched the Internet and found your email.

So now we know, his ears are from his Papillion ancestors.　I read the breed descriptions and characteristics and I can see bits of all of them in Axel.　 He’s a real handful, exactly as his certificate warns; also I am alerted to any problems with his health.　 I have now added this photo to the certificate and am in the process of getting it framed.
