How to interp ret you r dog's resultsWhen 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 genesinherited from each of those breeds. When dominant and recessive genes combine from the different breeds across thegenerations, unique and unpredictable combinations can occur. This is a big reason why your dog is unique and may notexhibit 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 andbehavioral 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 behavioraltraits 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 thisbreed’s physical traits are visually represented unless some of the genes are dominant.

The Dachshund, also known as the “hot dog” or “wiener dog,” dates back to the fifteenth century. Many acceptthe theory that the breed originated in Germany, although there is evidence that suggests that the breedmay also have been present in Greece, Egypt, China and Mexico. The Dachshund was originally developedto hunt badgers, but they are also well-suited for hunting larger game. In 1888 the German Dachshund Clubwas founded and a breed standard was developed in an effort to promote a dog that was as beautiful as itwas intelligent. Three different coats are associated with the breed, including the smooth coat, long coat andwirehaired coat. Dachshunds also come in different sizes including standard and miniature. The breed wasintroduced to the United States in 1885 and received American Kennel Club recognition at that time.

The history of the Boxer dates back to nineteenth century Germany, where they were used for hunting deer andboar. The ancestors of the Boxer include the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer, which are now both extinct.The crossing of those breeds with the English Bulldogs of the 1830’s resulted in the Boxer as we know it today.Boxers were bred to be hunting dogs and they earned their name from the “boxing” pose they are known totake when standing on their hind legs. Later in the breed’s development, it was made apparent that they werealso well-suited for herding and the Boxer was used in more than a few circus acts due to its ability to learntricks quickly and perform them on command. The popularity of Boxers started to increase rapidly in the 1860’swhen the German Boxer Klub was founded. At the turn of the twentieth century the Boxer made its way to theUnited States and the American Kennel Club recognized the Boxer as a breed in 1904.
