Dog Breed Tests, the Benefits of Knowing a Dog's Breed
Knowing a dog’s breed is fun, and it’s helpful medically because different breeds are predisposed to develop different health problems. For example, Yorkshire Terriers are inclined to develop liver problems, and Rottweilers are inclined to develop bone cancer.
Crazy Breed Test Results
To identify the genetics of adopted dogs, many families are paying $60-80 for breed tests through their veterinary clinics. While these tests may be useful, in some cases they aren’t. The dog pictured above was declaired to be a Rottweiler -- even though the testing agency had the dog’s photo. The family said they thought this was so funny, and they love telling the story so much, that they never even asked for their money back.
