DNA tests sniff out mutts' breeding
I've always been curious of the exact mix of my two mutts, but now I can find out for sure whether Otis' pops really was a Doberman, or if Mia's German Shepherd mom fell for a Rottweiler like the people at the pound told me. According to a recent story in USA Today: DNA testing can disclose what breeds dominate their family trees. And thousands of people are happy to pay, about $60 to $170 depending on the method and company chosen, to end the what-do-you-suppose-he-is speculation of mixed-breed dog owners everywhere. You can read the whole story and play a neat match-the-dog-picture-to-the-breed-mix game here. It's fascinating, but even for a mere $60, I'm quite happy not knowing the exact ancestry of my two hounds. I think they feel special enough as it is. — Andrew Mockett 1 comments from 1 users

What a waste of money! I have 3 mutts and when people ask what kind of dogs they are I say one is tan, the other black and the third is a shepard type. Beyond that I tell them to look at them and make their own best guess. I just don't care. Their tails still wag and at least they're glad to see me when I come home from a run (work on the railroad) at 3 a.m. And that means more to me than what breed they hail from.
