His results are in!
And I have to say for any of you considering doing the testing who haven't yet I really LOVE Wisdom Panel. I haven't seen any of the others so maybe they are all this cool. But, I was expecting something more like what 23 and me sent my dad for his human dna testing. It was pretty basic and vague. I thought ok well maybe they will at least tell us what breeds are in the mix. But, they do so so much more! Yay for low expectations and then getting super pleasantly surprised.
This is what was included in his report for those wondering what you get in a Wisdom Panel report:
* A pie chart that showed percentage of each breed
* a family tree going back three generations (great grandparents)
*his full dna code - not that I am a scientist that knows what all those letters and stuff mean but still pretty cool
* all dna that indicates physical traits and a complete description of what each means and what may or may not cause the trait to display
* dna breed traits and whether there are indicators that your dog will show that particular trait
* a complete description of each breed that shows up in your dna sample
* genetic markers for certain health issues and whether your dog has those markers or not (Diesel had none of the markers for the health issues listed)
* lots of information about dna in general including things they can be more certain about and things that are less certain. full disclosure about anything that wasn't a 100% certainty
And it is all in a neat and easy to understand package that I can pour over to my heart's content.
Soooo... Down to what you really want to know (what I really wanted to know anyways):
What is Diesel?
- 50% Dogue de Bourdeaux (as we expected since we had met the parent but it is confirmed that side is 100% DDB)
- 37.5% American Staffordshire Terrier
- 12.5% Boxer (this one was the surprise, we didn't expect boxer mixed in there. Our guess was lab)
No bad health markers - yay
He scored 100% indicators for guard traits, sounds like our Diesel.
His DNA indicated he should be between 77 lbs - 121 lbs so he is a little below the range he should fall in and he is def not underweight. But, at 75 lbs he is pretty close to the bottom range. Our boy is just a bit petite is all. lol
