You only gave us the results from one test, the Wisdom Panel, even though you took 5 tests. I'm not sure what your reasoning was for deciding that was the best test. There was really no comparing or contrasting in this video, except to tell us the differences in the types of collection swabs. Way too much time was spent asking people what they thought your dog was and not enough in explaining the results from each test.

[@tonicolgrove3993]

a deeper dive into results is covered in the article! please take a look : ) link in description above

[@tommcqueary7831]

Seems like the results of the 5 tests could have been described and compared MUCH better. Disappointing...

[@CarlosP1102]

Those test results are all wrong, Jackson is 100% good boi!!! Thank you for this video! Loved all the guesses especially the “mut”, I was looking for a good dna test for my pup and appreciate your review!! You are an angel!

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

I am so glad it was helpful! And I agree the "mutt" guess was too awesome not to include!

[@heathermartinez2954]

It would have been cool to see all the tests side by side though. But that's just a personal preference

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

Thank you for the input! I am planning a follow up with our second rescue and will try and put a shot in! Do you mean testing swabs side by side, result print-outs, return boxes... what are you most interested in?

[@peppermint6382]

Seeing what the results were for each test. I did one of them with my dog and it felt way off, so I was wondering if that brand was off for your dog too!

[@sfuterfas]

Agree. I don't understand why the Wisdom Panel was the best test when that was the only one we saw the results from. What did the other tests say and why did you feel the Wisdom Panel was the best?

[@mollysides655]

Jackson looks exactly like a Black Mouth Cur in my opinion!! I don’t think the DNA tests will test for that due to the history of the breed though :( since it’s kind of a “mixed” breed made from several breeds and not recognized by the AKC

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

Interesting.... :)

[@deniseweber1339]

Agree!

[@redhatpat9387]

I was told (by the puppy's owners) that my dog was a Lab/Husky X Rottie/GrPyrenees mix - at least that is what the parents were. The puppy I chose from the litter was the only one with short hair and a badger face. Based on that info I joined a Pyr FB group. I recently got curious as to how much Pyr she had in her, so I ordered the DNAMYDOG test and was totally floored when the results came back with NO Husky and NO Pyr! It said she was Lab/Rottie/Border Collie and BASENJI! I could accept the Border Collie because of her coloring, but the Basenji came out of left field! This meant she is a "Lurcher." Basically a "sighthound" mixed with another working breed. I could not believe the Basenji part, so I ordered another DNA test. This time it was "Wisdom Panel." Got back some of the same results - Lab/Rottie/Border Collie - but this time no mention of Basenji! 😲 This time it had some "Terrior" and MEXICAN STREET DOG in her ancestory! Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, I ordered ANOTHER test. This time it was the ORIVET DNA test. I am still waiting for the results. I am assuming that the three main breeds will be the same - Lab/Rottie/Border Collie - but I am very curious as to what other breeds this test will show. Will it match any of the other two, or will it be totally different? We'll have to wait and see. 🙄

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

Keep us posted!! What a journey!

[@redhatpat9387]

And the results from the ORIVET (3rd) DNA test are in! Rottie came back at 37.5% Border Collie came back at 25% Lab and Golden came back equal at 12.5% @ so she is 25% Lab. Finally there was 12.5% mixed breed - which is probably the Basenji, Mexican Street Dog, Terrier mix?

[@carolynhoffman764]

Since Jackson is the greatest escape artist, the Norwegian Elkhound is no surprise. A friend had a shelter dog who looked exactly like a Norwegian Elkhound, and Raja was the greatest escape artist I could imagine. My friend couldn’t keep her in her suburban home, and gave her to a forest ranger, and she thrived on that life.

[@count_it_all_joy]

I wonder if these DNA tests are just like the 23 and me ones where they only have so many samples so that’s where they pull from, so later on it expands after many people or doggos take the test.

[@SamanthaEdgell]

Wisdom panel is definitely the most accurate

[@acepirate5302]

What makes you say that ? From the reviews and videos on KZbin embark is more accurate. Breaks down way more instead of grouping they actually specify. What makes you say wisdom I’m just curious because I’m about to order one of the two and am undecided.

[@SamanthaEdgell]

@@acepirate5302 its the opposite gor me when it comes to KZbin, ive seen so many bad reviews of Embark, and great reviews of Wisdom Panel. I can also speak from experience because i used Wisdom Panel for my dog and the breeds seem pretty spot on for her. I will say i havent tried Embark, i would like to try them just to compare the results.. but theyre also too expensive.

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

I have a really mixed dog that who knows what he is. Would be interesting test him! Regardless the race, he is a beautiful and very intelligent boy!

[@juliegogola4647]

Sorry, I made my comment below too soon, the #4 test is called Wisdom Panel, the #5 test is (maybe also Wisdom panel?) or I had missed what #5 really is? ANYWAY, I am a bit drunk now, BUT, I still do have a bit of my wits about me. I would like to know which doggy DNA test kit is the BEST. I want to test OUR MISS ADDIE MAY, to see if she is REALLY part PITTY Bull pooch, or is she just a mix of dogs that look like they are pitty's, and are just obnoxious and as jealous as all hell of any other animal BUT her male counterpart, LUKEY. And, even HE may get attacked, ( superficially) IF a stray rawhide chew is considered to be "IN PLAY" vs having been already claimed by the dog is he is "roomies" with. \ What I REALLY WANT, is to know what is the best doggy DNA test that I can use to see what my family's CRABBY ass dog "Addie May" is genetically made up of. I had gotten results for my older dog years ago, BUT, that had been maybe 6-7 years ago or more. But, I don't recall what doggy DNA company that I had used back then. Just maybe somebody tell me what doggy DNA test company that would be best. IF NOT, I guess I can find a way to see who is good and reputable in the doggy DNA testing game.

[@cliffp73]

I wonder what the dog thinks about when we start taking to some sticks… with a chew toy on top…

[@steveh7108]

I have got my guess but first I want you to look at videos Black Mouth Curs. Because comparing some of the characteristics, personality and instincts would be critical for you as the dog owner to determine if I may be correct. The Black Mouth Cur is often the same size as your dog and is often mistaken for Pitbull and Ridgeback as well as some other hound dogs. But there is personality and character traits that are fairly distinctive. I would love to hear from you after you've used some videos and tell me what you think ?

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

thanks, I will check it out ! None of the dog DNA tests came back with black mouth cur, but possibly as the DNA databases expand...

[@brandydinsmore8214]

My son just got one that is 2-3 months old and looks very much like yours. Im sending him this video.

[@deniseweber1339]

Yrs these are not included in dna tests but research them, dog looks like a BMC and they are amazing dogs! Ours was a service dog for my autistic son!

[@juliegogola4647]

Uuumm, okay, so the doggy in the video here is NOT the same doggy dna that has been shown here in the bar graph. I had REALLY thought it was, BUT, okay, it was not. Anyhow, THAT doggy's DNA results are gonna be told by his mommy. His name is JACKSON , and he is 42% BOXER, 28% Australian Shepherd, 11% Chow Chow, 8% German Shepherd, 5% white swiss shephard , 4% Pomeranian, an 4% GINDO. I have no idea what a GINDO is. I am THINKING that I just have not heard the name of the dog breed right.

[@heatherwhite2788]

I am pretty sure these tests don’t show the % angel 😇

[@EpicJokesAnimated]

Hey there, thanks for sharing this informative video about all Dog DNA Test. It's great to see the amount of information and detail that this video have. I'll definitely consider getting one for my furry friend. On a side note, I actually made a hilarious video featuring a dog and a cat. It's a hilarious combat between cat vs dog about DNA tests that will definitely make you laugh loud. Keep up the great work!

[@GrandPapi95]

Thanks for sharing! ❤ I want to test my rescue. People thinks he's some blend of Corgi, Pit, Lab, German Shep... We'll see!

[@no_action_jacksonbesidethe8769]

You should!

[@cryptobotboi4459]

I’m adopting a dog on Thursday who looks almost just like Jackson! My boy has a little more white on his nose, but same colors and chest and paws and build. Seems to be equally good and goofy too! Lol ❤

[@tonicolgrove3993]

I hope the adoption went well! The goofy ones are so fun : )

Where is the WOLF'S DNA? as all dogs supposed to have come from them

[@nancymesek]

I see lab, Visla and shepherd @ 4 minutes

[@juliegogola4647]

SO, is the chart here at the 5:29 mark what the doggy is made up of? I am talking about the doggy who is in the video here and we all want to know his DNA makeup. IF SO, it is GREAT that we all know now what he is made up of genetically as far as dog breeds. STUPIDLY, I am still wondering if ALL of the doggy DNA tests will AGREE with each other. They all SHOULD of course, BUT, If the tests are NOT being done by HONEST people, the stats could end up being kinda "crooked", BUT, if they are done right, things should be okay. Hopefully, everybody will be honest about everything. I guess I should have more faith in mankind?

[@TonyFreeman-LocoTonyF]

No results?

[@Kamel419]

I think its very clear/unedniable your dog has rhodesian ridgeback in it, yet the final slide @ 6:54 somehow omits rhodesian ridgeback entirely? This seems super fishy to me. Rationale: 1. Rhodesian ridgeback is a very rare breed that most casual observers arent even aware exists, yet was overwhelmingly suggested by those interviewed. Im willing to bet those who didnt say it have never been around a ridgeback to be able to see the resemblance. 2. I have a rhodesian ridgeback and belgian malinois mix and he looks a lot like your dog. I suspected your dog was boxer and rhodesian ridgeback based on looks alone before seeing the results - which aligns very closely with your aggregate survey data shown at 5:24 3. You said you liked that test result the best without giving explanation as to why, which makes me think it may have been chosen based on how closely it matched how you see your dog (confirmation bias) 4. Due to this being a very uncommon breed, it is very likely that it would be inadvertently omitted from the source dna database they use for comparison to give you the results. I would be very interested to see all results mapped the way the guesses were aggregated and see how closely they align. I would also like to see the other results individually, and finally the one that most closely matched the peoples guess ratios. That would be really neat.

[@CrescentPaws5000]

Thank I really want to do this with my puppy

[@poetrywithwings]

That face is all Boxer in my eyes.

[@brandydinsmore8214]

I agree with the Black mouth cur

[@sinbadsailor1963]

This could have been a great video, but you blew it. You talked for 7 minutes and we still don't know what the results were for the five tests. And did the companies ask what results you expected and ask for a picture? Because that's a red flag. And did you comply? Because that would taint the legitimacy of the results. Check out CNBC's comparison test. It was shocking.

[@olsonjslipknot]

Guy guess hound ……. Nope

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

I am genuinely impressed that all of the tests found significant amounts of boxer. It looks pretty reliable the he’s at least one third boxer. I’m suddenly quite amused to try and test my doggie. I already know what she should be, as she’s an AKC registered chihuahua with papers and a pedigree. I would be interested to see if the test shows anything NOT chihuahua.
