Utter garbage
I got this product from a Bark Box at a fraction of the price you can get it from any other retailer. So I tested my Husky knowing full well that he is 100% Husky. He’s registered with multiple agencies from the moment he was born. I was more interested in the behavior traits because he has a weird personality for a Husky. I got the results, they did get the 100% Siberian Husky correct. The behavior and appearance traits, are a complete marketing ploy that is filled with the highest amount of manure. From the results, the traits are just guesswork. From 11 traits, 1 is correct (he’s not a guard dog) OF COURSE HE ISN'T, the breed is not guard dog material lol. The other 10, completely wrong. Take it from me, if you want to know your dog’s breed, then this is pretty good but not for $100 or whatever insane amount they’re charging. Absolutely garbage when it comes to traits. They’re playing the guessing game with traits. Changed review from 2 stars to 1 based on their response of doubling down on their garbage traits.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and for choosing our Know Your Pet DNA test to help you in learning more about your dog. We can certainly appreciate that seeing Traits results that don't match the appearance or behaviour of your dog can initially seem odd. Think of your dog’s trait results as a peek inside their DNA, rather than as a definitive prediction about their traits. If their trait result says, for example, they have no short snout when, in fact, they do, the markers we looked at aren’t “wrong,” they just don’t tell the whole story. Most traits are influenced by many genes—some of which we don’t even know about yet. Environmental factors can also affect your dog’s traits. Nevertheless, we appreciate you taking the time to share your views, and we’ll certainly take this feedback on board.
