Just got one of those mixed breed rescue pups - she's awesome but super curious what her heritage might be. Any of ya used those dog DNA tests? Are they worth the cash or is there another way to tell?

There’s some apps out there that claim they can guess your dog's breed from a photo, but take them with a huge grain of salt. Ain't nada like the real genetic test. If you're interested, Embark is the one I hear about most often, and most say it's good quality.

Oh, those tests are lots of fun! Used one for our rescue and the results have been incredibly accurate according to our vet. They can also give you a heads up on potential health concerns specific to the breeds in your pup's mix. If you're super curious and got the money to spare, I’d say go for it!
Otherwise, you can also post pics in dog breed forums and have enthusiasts take their best guesses!0

Dog DNA tests can be pretty accurate but take it with a grain of salt. Sometimes they reveal really unexpected breeds which is kinda cool. There are popular ones like Embark or Wisdom Panel. They give you everything from breed makeup to potential health conditions. If it's within your budget, totally worth it for the sheer knowledge.

We used a dog DNA test for our mix and it was kinda fun knowing her background! Yeah they’re a bit pricy but seeing all those breeds listed out was super cool. It was spot-on for the breeds you could tell by eye but threw in a couple of surprises too.
