I adopted an absolutely ADORABLE corgi and his DNA showed that his parents were chihuahua and Siberian Husky.

They are going to call him Warren? Publish a cookbook? Run him for Senator?

DNA tests were wrong. Try again.

Me thinks the lab made a mistake.

My mother had her dog tested a few weeks ago just out of curiosity, she got it at the pound and we couldn’t figure out what she was a mix of.
I laughed like hell when the bloodwork came back - Pure Great Pyrenees. I mean she does have huge dew claws on her, they’re monstrous things, but she has both a narrow face and head like a runner breed and is a short haired very vivid brindle.
At least she shows no sign of hip dyspepsia like her other pure bred dogs both had.

Wife and I just took in another stray that had been in our neighborhood for about a month; at first glance from the back she looked like a strangely colored coyote. From the front she looks like your typical German shepherd, facial structure, eyes, quite light in color tho, and the most unusual eyes I have ever seen in a dog - a pale grey/almost white irises with a tinge of blue at the bottom, and in a reflected light the interior is bright red (similar to albino). Going to get a DNA test done for informations sake. Anyone want to take a guess?

Lol,

Oh forgot to add, vet says she is only about 5-6 months old. She’s gonna be a big girl.

The head is shaped entirely wrong for a retriever. First thing I noticed too. There's something unsettling about it. Uncanny valley stuff.

A person would adopt a stray dog and then have a DNA test is a damn fool.
The better course would be to take the dog to water. If it goes in, it is a retriever. If it doesn’t go in, it is not.
