I'm sure somebody told me once that budgies can do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Yep. Must agree with you there. I mean, Husky?! WTF?! But, then; That's So outlandish, doesn't it make us question the veracity of the test? It's a fukking circle, isn't it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Got a couple of dogs here, as we speak. Got them from the pound. They'd been slung over the fence with their tits still on the ground. Looking at them, and considering their circumstances, I figured they must be the 'natural wastage' from a " Bull X " breeding scheme. Only using ~ fittingly enough! ~ a whippet stud. So, I started thinking of them as " Pippets ". Something to do. But, you know what? Put a fukking gun to my head and there's no way I could Swear I didn't suspect there was a dash of collie in there! Both of them. They look, for all the world, like strange little pit bull based things. They absolutely adore fighting my much bigger dog. Yet, they'll eyeball him, prior to launching an attack, just like a typical sheep dog. You know that whole thing? Head down. Ears and arse up. Creeping stalk. Round in circles, again, though; If I had them dna tested, without the lab knowing anything about them, or ever having laid eyes on them? Surely they couldn't just send back some randomly generated mess of percentages? Or, could they??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't female mallards change colours as they get older and don't lay eggs so they don't get f****d to death? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could be that Deehound genes were not in the companies data set so the DH genes would be attributed to a similar recognised breed ie greyhound leading to error in the results. if a breed is not in the data set, ( the genes available on the companies library), then it won't be recognised and with early test there was often a limited library leading to errors. plus a few were cons and didn't undertake any real test but requested a photo with the sample then just guessed from the photo. With modern testing by decent companies with good genetic data sets to compare to there should be reasonable results but......................all things are open to interpretation.

chartpolski 28,494 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Don't the pedigree whippet racing club DNA test any whippet suspected of having greyhound blood in it ? Ive no faith in dog DNA testing as different company's have different methods. Some have a data base of around 300 "breeds", but whose to say what was actually in the "breeds" that tested. Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
