Elyse Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've been wondering that myself...been thinking of doing one for Suka....but the low prices seem sketchy. I did DNA analysis for a biology lab this year, and its a lot more complicated than they make it out to be. The cheek sample I used (mine) didn't turn out, probably because not enough DNA was on the Q-tip, so I had to use someone else's cheek swab.

yaroni Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yeah the low price does seem sort of sketchy, i asked my vet and she said the DNA difference in dog breeds is so miniscule that its nearly impossible to distinguish them apart. You would think some scholar somewhere would at least catalog some of the popular breads but i guess not. I ask becuse i see so many different types of huskies, the other day i met 2 very small adult males (defferent owners) and their ears were positioned differently and the eyes were also different than caspers. Maybe its a different lineage, or maybe caspers a mix, maybe hes got some Mal in him. Always wanted to know what he is exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
