Everyone would always say that my chihuahua was unusual-looking. She is quite swwet and unique. So I had her DNA done and I just got the report back and here it is! Hilarious.

1. Ancestry Report
W hat b re eds make u p Gid get?
The picture below shows the breeds detected in Gidget. The relative size of the breed image shows the amount of each
breed detected in our analysis. There are also signals from other breeds which are not strong enough to identify with
confidence. How can these faint signals occur? There are two possibilities. First, your dog could have mixed-breed ancestors
beyond three generations back. A second reason is that our test may not yet cover one of the breeds in your dog’s ancestry.

Dalmatian
Crested*

How to interp ret you r dog's results
When reading your report, keep in mind that all physical traits of the breeds found may not always be apparent in your dog.
Why? Because a mixed-breed dog’s appearance varies depending on the overall mix of breeds found and the specific genes
inherited from each of those breeds. When dominant and recessive genes combine from the different breeds across the
generations, unique and unpredictable combinations can occur. This is a big reason why your dog is unique and may not
exhibit the physical traits of each breed.
Significant Breed - At least 50% of your dog’s DNA matches this breed, so you are likely to see some physical and
behavioral traits from this breed represented unless some of the genes are recessive.
Intermediate Breed - At least 25% of your dog’s DNA matches this breed, so you may see some physical and behavioral
traits represented in your dog.
Minor Breed - At least 12.5% of your dog’s DNA matches this breed, but at this level, it is unlikely that this
breed’s physical traits are visually represented unless some of the genes are dominant.

The Dalmatian is one of the oldest breeds in existence and it is believed that the breed dates back more than
four thousand years. Evidence of the Dalmatian wasn’t documented until the 1700’s, although pictures of the
breed date back thousands of years prior to first documentation. The exact origin of the Dalmatian is highly
disputed; however, most people believe that the breed developed in Dalmatia, a region in Croatia bordering the
eastern Adriatic Sea. The name Dalmatia comes from the ancient Illyrian language meaning “land of shepherds”
and it was from this area that the breed received its name. Dalmatians were used to chase rats out of the fire
stations and horse stables of old London. They also guided the horse-drawn fire wagons through city streets
and safeguarded the fire equipment from vandalism and theft. This tradition endured even after the old wagons
were replaced with more modern fire engines and today Dalmatians enjoy status as the iconic fire house dog.
The first Dalmatian was registered with the American Kennel Club in 1888.

It is generally accepted that the Chinese Crested is a long established breed dating back to sixteenth century
China. However, some debate that the breed is actually the result of crossing the Chihuahua and the Mexican
Hairless dogs, while others insist that the breed originates from Africa. Some even speculate that the breed
came into existence in America in the late nineteenth century. While the origins of the Chinese Crested may be
questionable, the breed’s popularity is not. Famous individuals like Gypsy Rose Lee and her sister June Havoc
were very involved in the promotion of the breed. The Chinese Crested received official American Kennel Club
recognition in 1991.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Each dog is unique and their physical and behavioral traits will be the result of multiple factors, including genetics,
training, handling, and environment. Wisdom Panel™ Insights proprietary genetic analysis provides insight into the
behavioral traits in breeds that have been identified in your dog. Wisdom Panel Insights is designed and intended
to be used solely to identify the genetic makeup of a mixed-breed dog and no other purpose is intended,
authorized, or permitted.
Upon receipt of your sample, Mars Veterinary will analyze your dog’s DNA to determine the breeds present in
your dog’s ancestry with a reasonable degree of certainty. Mars Veterinary’s testing procedures are designed to
provide reliable and accurate results.
Wisdom Panel Insights is intended for use on mixed-breed dogs. The test was designed specifically to look for multiple breeds in a dog’s ancestry and was not designed to validate
the purity of a purebred dog. Mars Veterinary is not responsible for any errors in obtaining the swab sample or for any injuries or loss that may occur as a result.
In the unlikely event that it is not possible to determine breed history or that an error in the analysis occurs, liability by Mars Veterinary or related companies and individuals is
disclaimed and damages in any event are limited to the payment actually received by Mars Veterinary for the specified analysis at issue.
Wisdom Panel Insights is based upon the Mars Veterinary database of validated breeds. If your dog contains other breeds, it may result in the identification of breeds, or a
combination of breeds in the database, related to the breeds in your pet’s history.
Many cities and communities have breed-specific ordinances and laws that may require special handling or prohibit the ownership of some dogs with a particular breed in their
genetic background. Neither Mars Veterinary nor any related company is responsible for compliance or notification regarding these matters. You may want to check with your local
authorities to determine if your dog’s genetic profile requires compliance with any laws, regulations, or ordinances in your area.
