So I got my results, I had her done using Wisdom Panel...
The dog I had tested was a rescue 'Honey' (found wandering the streets).. so no idea of her breeding at all, so I had her done out of interest, I guessed Lhasa apso or perhaps dachshund x... as she long, little legs, golden blonde scruffy coat, and floppy ears.. (still only a pup yet)
I was very careful I did not contaminate the swabs she she does lick my other dogs mouth, so the swabs were taken first thing in the morning, before she had eaten, drank or licked anything (I crate her overnight, so this made it easy).. the swabbing was easy to do
You are supposed to get the results within 3 weeks of them reaching the lab.. but it did take a long time for the swabs to register on their site, reason being they then get sent to the USA, which was an extra 10 days, though I did email them and did get a prompt reply..
The results came back that she is infact a mix of.. Westie, Lab, and Alaskan Malamute, plus unknown breeds
I didnt see westie in her at all, but a friend that has Westies does, and said she guessed that when I first got her, though I did think there was terrier in her..
Labrador... she does have the floppy ears, thick tail and coat colour and the intelligence
Malamute.. now I know where that funny woo-woo-woo barky howl comes from..
Wisdom did tell me that they might not pick anything up as Im in Spain, and 'for example' a Lab born in the UK can have different DNA to one born in Spain... so perhaps thats why the grandparents on one side could not be recongnised.. though there were traces of Schnauzer and Yorkie in her..
So overall, Im impressed, I would recommend having it done if you want to know what your dog is.. and for me it was just a bit of fun....
