Note to all cross breed owners! I have found this...

Just read this in dogs monthly.

Want to figure out your dogs ancestry and breed influences. http://www.whatbreedismydog.co.uk

Apparently its only £60 and you can get the results in a few days. I have not used it myself but i saw the article and thought wow! I thought you guys may like this.

Disclaimer - i can't recommend or endorse this site etc. simply just read it in a mag and thought i would spread the word.

I would just caution people who spend their money on the tests- I can't say anything about this particular company but in general the technology for these tests is imperfect.

If you NEED to know what breed your dog is, this isn't going to necessarily tell you and you might be disappointed. if you have some money to burn and think it would be a fun way to spend it, then go for it. But I know people who've had very poor outcomes with even their purebred dogs that have been tested.

LOL I was watching CM the other day (I know, I know !!) and the family had done a test to find out what breeds were in their dog, I think it came back with .... collie x sheep dog x something else ridiculous like ridgeback (can't remember exactly) LOL , just looked & the dogs in that episode are Tobi & Riley (if anyone is curious to see what it looks like) to me the dog looked more like a norfolk terrier !!
