    The most remarkable thing just happened! Using Wisdom Panel, I was able to find out my dog's birthday and that he has almost an identical brother! ...The resemblence is incredible.

    I am so happy I had it done for my dog... 9 different breeds converged to make my perfect Paco! Some of his most endearing quirks now have an explanation!

    We learned he's mostly herding breeds, and he also tested positive for a gene that gives him adverse reactions to some medications. Told our vet immediately!

    Fantastic experience! So user friendly. Taking the sample was quick. Results came back much faster than expected. So happy to know her breed makeup!

    Knowing her breed composition allowed me to better understand certain behaviours, and put together a training program that would fit her personality.
