Shocking Rescue Dog DNA Results (Romanian Rescue) | WISDOM PANEL 2.0

[@bigsam8597]

She's 100% Toasted Bread. That's my guess.

[@booyanuu9184]

No it’s a poodle

[@angelicacroitoru4946]

Thank you for adopting this beauty! I hope romanian people become more sesitive to the stray dogs and give them the love they deserve.

[@thepinch1839]

They can't treat each other nice, let alone an animal.

[@novaava]

My sister recently did this with her dog. I can't speak for it's accuracy, but it's interesting to see the breakdown.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

yeah i'm taking the results with a pinch of salt tbh :')

[@lexiehollens3610]

she looks like a dachshund, they are super stubborn, or maybe a Jack Russel terrier mix, but there's definitely a terrier in her mix. She's so cute!!!

[@mayqueenslithers4078]

Wisdom panel isn't always accurate, I have seen false wolf and even coyote in these tests. Embark is more accurate overall. There are lots of smaller black and tan dogs all over Europe, both herder types and hounds so she could be any of those mixed in. Anatolians are falsely thought to be ancient but are a recent breed and heavily mixed so that may be a false read.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Ah interesting. Yeah the embark one is like 3 x the price and you had to pay extra in the UK to get it here, as is only available through their website, but I am curious to do an embark test and see if the results are similar.

[@booyanuu9184]

I mean it’s obviously a poodle but I may be wrong

[@luadraponies]

Very fluffy. It is a mongrel, the nicest type. Before designer dogs!, they were often free mistakes. Even human dna tests, identical twins coming back as different percentages and different types.

[@amandaakalila15]

This is what I was going to say

[@thelaughinghyenas8465]

@@leopardgeckotalk , the Embark is like $100 in the USA now. Maybe the price has dropped. The Wisdom test is known for tossing in some wild stuff that makes no sense. They are also known for declaring the breed of people who take the test.

[@sarahludbrook]

Me freaking out seeing you posted 2 days early to the usual schedule!!!!🤯🤯😱😂

[@leopardgeckotalk]

haha it's okay, schedule is back to usual today :)

[@tanyaroberson9629]

She seems really calm natured- what a sweet dog.

[@PackAdventures]

My dog has the same bed in black and she loves it! Very cozy! By the way there are loads of breeds that have black and brown in that bicolor pattern! Not just rotties! (I love rotties tho) i haven't seen the results yet and im thinking shes a shiba mix maybe! Edit: wow i was not expecting those results honestly! 😂 she looks just like a bicolor shiba in that one picture you showed! Lol

[@mermaidheather5049]

I totally thought she'd have dachshund, or shepherd, but the rest are wild. Lol.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Yeah the more I look at her and black & tan dachshunds I'm like 'omg you're just a tall sausage dog!' 😂😂

[@mermaidheather5049]

@@leopardgeckotalk we did our dogs. One was from a shelter labeled as a mix breed, but was a full bred white German shepherd. Our other dog is a wild combination of dogs like this one, but we can see a lot of the dog mixes in him. Your dog is the epitamy of a surprise DNA test. Lol!

[@evthepinappleg1252]

The french bulldog picture is terrifying!!

[@falishalarsen3734]

I’d take the test with a grain of salt, these tests are not 100% accurate as they’re still learning what each dogs DNA looks like. Maybe cross compare wisdoms panel with another DNA kit? That would be cool!

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Yeah I am interested to compare tests to kind of see how accurate they are.

[@stephlang3073]

What a fun mix! I totally thought there would be some German Shepard or Beauceron!

[@ashleyakeller88]

I saw part German Shepard I have a pup that looks like her

[@joxxjo301]

We've got a beautiful Romanian rescue and have just ordered a kit so excited to see what comes out, she looks very much like yours except she's much more fluffy and a blue and tan colour so we will see 😊

[@brendagrant580]

This is a sweet video....funny too. Always a pleasure to watch them

[@ajaxc766]

Hyped to find out!

[@mypetsandme9473]

Awwww she is such a good girl. Interesting mix 😊

[@loopy1379]

As an owner of a romanian rescue who is an Australian Kelpie, I personally would say that is an Australian kelpie 😄

[@IrieRogue]

I was lucky enough to know the pairings back to my dog's great-grandparents. She's lab, chow, St. Bernard, Doberman, and Rottweiler, looks like a fluffy black chow with a long snoot. Loved the video!

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Awww wow she sounds so cute 🥺🥰

[@lilaregen2967]

I would have guessed there is Shiba Inu in her. Because of her looks and also because she's so stubborn. :)

[@melissabereading]

Cleo is beautiful! She’s going to be a big girl 💖

[@justsomememingbigyoshiwith4832]

Ive been gone for a while , and i didnt realize how much i missed her classic little "hi guys and welcome to todays video" every time she says it, i get reminded of this :D

[@leopardgeckotalk]

awww :D

[@doggyteabreaks9362]

For what it's worth, US-based crossbreed DNA tests are as accurate as the reference panel of dogs used to match the alleles, of which afaik are mostly US born dogs, with some overseas and non AKC registered dogs. Logically if your dog was born in the US, the test accuracy of the Embark test is higer than dogs coming from overseas. Hope this helps!

[@Andyw00Hall]

Me and my wife got a couple of Romanian rescues who are roughly the same age as cleo. When people ask what they are we just say we have no idea. One looks like a border collie X miniature schnauzer and the other is definitely a jack Russell cross

[@ollyoxin2539]

The dog I grew up with was a Golden retriever mixed with a Cocker spaniel. It's not that unlikely. The big dog is laying down one night and the little dog get frisky.

[@Rukiakuchikixo]

She is adorable! Our 5 month old rescue from Macedonia is coming in 3 weeks and we are thinking of getting a dna test on her! Xx

[@maryellenthompson8261]

I had my puppy’s DNA checked through Wisdom Panel and, like you, got a few surprises. We know thatLily is part Great Pyrenees because we saw her mother, who is a GP mix. Then, we suspected that she had some St. Bernard, which they confirmed. The tricky part is that there is no way Lily’s mother was part St. Bernard. They told a few other surprising things such as Labrador retriever, chow chow and beagle. While they found some unidentified Asian breeds, they completely missed the 50% Anatolian Shepherd. Lily’s father is a purebred. So, some of these tests might miss things that we think are obvious. I’m thinking that, one day when I get the money to spend, I will invest in a different test and see that outcome and compare the two. It should be fun. Congratulations on your beautiful Romanian puppy!

[@paulblake1892]

I can tell you with absolute certainly what breed she is. She's a beautiful.

[@brightskypa]

She is so cuteeee

[@RoseProseFroze]

The french bulldog donated stubborness. Also nice to see that it doesn't take too many generations for nature to fix bulldogs and dauchsands.

[@apetloverslife5799]

Haha ! I was right on the terrier idea !

[@Cisfruity]

I think Cleo is a... rotweiler border collie cross. (before finishing the video, at the beginning.)

[@jordancountryman2474]

Remember she is 6 months she has growing to do still

[@jaynecrafter2684]

Yeah.. the dogs paws are HUGE still i don't doubt this dog is going to be massive when its older

[@sharpbj]

We call that a Heinz 57 Variety

[@heatherwhite2788]

She has excellent hybrid vigor 😉🐶

[@lexiehollens3610]

Cleo is so cute!!!

[@ahbushnell1]

I think the correct term is mutt. Nice looking dog.

[@CourtChappOfficial]

First thing I saw in your dog was a dachshund!

[@alexcroy101]

Omg your dog looks exactly like my dog buck, exact color, and fur patterns, he's also a rescue

[@alexcroy101]

We were told he was a German shepherd and collie mix, but he's too small and we doubt it

[@lollypopm5900]

Woo! I'm excited :D

[@daybot573]

I havent seen the whole video but my initial thought is that shed be an Australian kelpie mix with maybe aussie or rottweiler

[@TheLizardKing140]

She looks a lot like my dog (alaskan malamute german shepherd) but a little darker on the head and smaller and the ears are down while mines are up like a wolf dog

[@vogelkonigin3303]

I'm not convinced. I would love to see you do another dna test from a different company and compare.

[@Sunaokami]

same here, Wisdom Panel is notoriously inaccurate in dog groups, people usually go with Embark, and even that is not 100% and only goes 3 generations back.

[@user-ut7jz7wm8i]

Well . . . that came as a surprise 😂😂😂😂 Never would have expected bulldog 😂😂

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Same :') That one really didn't make sense to me.

[@user-ut7jz7wm8i]

Leopard Gecko but still absolutely the most beautiful dog ever 😍

[@meganpinnington3166]

I just joined as it ended 😔 but I rewatched the whole thing and I’m surprised she is a french bulldog? My cousin has a bulldog and it kind of acts like her I guess (just because she is quite strong)

[@abbeyroadonmaui]

Doberman… Look up the history of the mixture to make the breed, but yes, add extra shepherd🥰

[@ace7783]

Wisdom isn’t accurate at all they mainly just guess and don’t use the actual percentages I’d get her retested with EMBARK it is the most accurate DNA test out there

[@SwiftheartRainbow]

Agree for sure. This dog in my picture is not a basenji basset hound mix. Someone just checked off two boxes alphabetically adjacent to each other and took my money. Also my other dogs test was more accurate, but had two 12.5 percentages. That's just a number they like.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Well I thought about doing embark but because it’s not readily available over here you have to order it through their site, pay extra for delivery and then pay for it to go back. It was like getting towards £160+ 🙈 and from what I read I thought wisdom panel was good 🙈

[@vogelkonigin3303]

@@leopardgeckotalk I guarantee people would donate for you to get the other test if you made that option available. I am not convinced at all by Wisdoms results, they don't make any sense.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Haha that would be cool. I am now very tempted to try it, and check if the same breed comes up on both, so we can say for example 'okay both tests have said shes part dachshund' or maybe they'll come back completely different.

[@Avocetexotics]

No matter what she is, she is absolutely adorable! You should try to see if another more accurate test would want to work with you and send you a kit in exchange for a review, and then you could see how the results vary.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Thank you :D Yeah I'm really curious to do another test now :) At the end of the day she's the perfect mix for us :') So it doesn't really matter but I do question the accuracy lol

[@penguinfoot4459]

Hi love your videos

[@MituRayrayebiz]

I am wondering it’s similar with our Chase who is exactly the same look and attitude. But his result is with more Australian shepherd dog and so many others.

[@emilysandahl127]

My dog is the same, a beagle and a greyhound, no idea how!

[@isabellesipress1702]

Jack Russell terrier and Russell terrier are different breeds😅

[@leopardgeckotalk]

I know you get a parsons Russell terrier and a jack russell terrier but every time I googled it it came up jack russell 🙈 and that what they showed on the website.

[@foxybyrne101]

You should name her fuzzy ball

[@lydiapujol4980]

Mine is also a Romanian rescue same sort of body shape mines just tri coloured and everyone convinced she's part beagle

[@danieltaylor4185]

Man, I wish they had these for leopard gecko morphs. But I imagine it's probably a lot harder to test the DNA of a small reptile versus a dog. I mean, a dog, you can just like... swab the inside of their mouth pretty easy. But, a leopard gecko? Not so much.

[@nyleved7988]

Looks like a dachshund Rottweiler mix

[@townfam7911]

Cleo is very cool.

[@Venom_Mom]

I can see some sort of terrier in her head shape when she's facing downward, but I wouldn't say dachshund at all. X"D If there were terrier in Cleo my best guess would be Rat Terrier or German Pinscher, and I have seen both of these mixed with JRT, so that wouldn't be as far off I think. Although all of the above are used as ratting dogs, so having them around a farm is beneficial too.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Yeah true. She definitely looks like both of those breeds. I am tempted to do another test tbh 🙈 by a different company.

[@aerenfitzgerald3970]

I have watch the video an would say do not know alot about Romanian dogs breads. I would say the ears are French bulldog you did say she look like a corgi upside-down. She beautiful dog.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

omg 😂😂😂

[@A-G5518]

Just for fun, I know it's a year later but I paused before hearing anything to guess. I'm thinking Rottweiler for sure. Possibly some kind of shepherd also. 🤔

[@liv_7271]

My dog is a mix of 11 different breeds and I have had to memorize each breed, and I would love to just hand people a card, when they ask! 🤣 Also he is: Boxer Beagle Cow Cow Dalmatian American Staffordshire terrier Pit bull Rottweiler Great dane Mastiff German Shepard Lab So yeah 😅

[@aerenfitzgerald3970]

For me I thought might some min pinscher in her. Her face deffiantly a terrier breed.

[@scarlettkarwoski2383]

I have a corgi and a chocolate lab and we always go back to when we looked up if they’re breeds were mixed and it looks ridiculous! 🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewfarrar741]

How much does she weigh at 18 months and how tall is she at the withers?? Maybe that mystery "Breed Groups" relative is from a family of general purpose working dogs?? French Bulldog, Dachshund, Jack Russell (and to a lesser extent Anatolian) could be the source of some of the stubbornness, but I imagine that with that big of a mystery breed, it makes things harder to predict. Does this dog do well at solving puzzles??

[@wizard5637]

Rather than worrying about her dog tags being seen, just take her collar off. No need for one in the house, and it gives her a feeling of getting comfy by having it removed when you bring her in from outside activities. Also, she's licking your hand because it's salty. Is she your very first dog ever?

[@AbbyCackowski-Schnell]

I was like, those brown spots on her head.... what dog am I thinking of?! Ended up as a dashound. I see nothing else in her though.... I have a tiny, very long, very smart dog at home and he is super good with agility, and he barks at anything. We got him because he was said to be a corgi, or a corgi mix, but now, he has a bunch of things in him, and it seems, we are told he has...poodle... in him. He looks nothing like a poodle at all. Can anyone help me a bit with some ideas on why he is so long, though? He is oddly long, and his tail runs over his back.

[@Eneby00]

I definitely saw dashound in her

[@lasodipop]

She is so cute! I was not expecting the french bulldog but either way she is a cutie! I also recently got a leo and I was wondering what plants I could use in his/her tank?

[@benjaminverhoff1152]

I do see French bulldog and her ears sometimes French bulldogs ears are down sometimes Sometimes there up

[@KerpooHater]

anatolian shepherd dogs actually make up most of the genetic of strays and mutts in the balkans i think

[@monke2229]

Wisdom Panel tends to round up their percentages(as far as ive seen) so she might have less frenchie than other breeds, despite the chart

[@stymiedagain]

I would be very skeptical about these results. A Canadian show called Marketplace did tests on 3 dogs with 4 DNA companies. One of the 3 dogs was a registered pure bred "Best in Show" Great Dane going back 5 generations. Accu-Metrics asked what breeds they thought their dog was and the Great Dane owners lied and said Chihuahua. So Accu-Metrics came back with results saying the Great Dane was a Chihuahua! As one geneticist interviewed on the show said, these companies have a vested interest in making their customers happy. The show also sent in the human host's DNA. DNA my Dog came back saying the guy was 40-60% Basenji and 40-60% Beagle! Accu-Metrics said he was a mixture of Central Asian Shepherd, Turkish Kangal, Mastiff and Akbash Dog! Wisdom Panel and Embark came back with "Failed Test" results, which would give me more confidence in their testing. Two of the dog owners had dogs they picked up in the Middle East, one came from Istanbul and the other dog from Kuwait. Embark identified the dog from Kuwait as 100% Arabian Village dog, and the dog from Istanbul as 100% West Asian Village dog, which probably was the most accurate. Village dogs are not descended from pure breeds. Less than 25% of the worlds dog population are descended from pure bred dogs and I respect Embark being willing to give disappointing results to a customer. Most customers want their adopted village dogs to be descended from some mixture of pure breds. Wisdom Panel had a bunch of unlikely selections for the two village dogs. That said your dog does not look like any village dog I've seen pictures of online, but the DNA test of your dog does have some bizarre results which I find hard to believe are accurate.

[@7thCobweb]

she's 100% baby

[@sallyweiner4180]

I see Dachshund for sure

[@terriharkey1001]

Cleo is so cute hope you find her breed

[@MituRayrayebiz]

Does your dog have bite issue

[@foxrox6]

I think she'd have shiba inu in her with her size and coloring, and stubborness

[@obiwahndagobah9543]

The company probably doesn't have all breeds or dog populations in their databases. Especially in less developed countries there are many "breeds" or types o dogs not officially recognized as a breed. Often they are working dogs and not put in any dog shows, but they are certainly unique populations of dogs for special purposes. So probably your dog hasn't really an Anatolian herd guarding dog in her but rather a related Romanian breed, which is common in the countryside there. Many stray dogs have this type among their ancestors. Btw. they are not really shepherds but dogs that guard the herds and protect them from predators and thieves. Shepherds living in areas were predators never were hunted to extinction usually have shepherd dogs and herd guarding dogs, so one kind drives them and one kind protects them. Such types are also common in Spain and Italy, like the Pyreneese and Maremman ones.

[@Stephsgeckos]

My boy is a rottweiler beagle he's on the medium size. I thought she could have been a rottweiler border collie. That was my guess. 😊 She is a interesting mix though.

I'm always late for premieres so this is a first 😂

[@RubyRoberts-b4e]

hi :)

[@isabellesipress1702]

Maybe Rottweiler and border collie? Not sure tho

[@PotatoWedge-ux5yw]

I guess anatolian shepherd easy Her face and ears gives it away and also the softer fluffier fur Dashund I can see too with the more flat curve of the snout and the color of course Barbet I don't know very well but it's probably right there too Jack russell I'm not too sure on Maybe the fur type or the overall build shows it a little French bulldog is kind of a wildcard there but dogs don't always show characteristics of the breeds they makeup so maybe it is there maybe the test was off Either way she's adorable and we love her

[@thewolfgirlspets]

You should try to embark her. They are much more accurate than wisdom panel
