Breed, Schmeed... How could you not love this face?

This morning, we also had blood drawn for the Wisdom Panel this morning. One of the vet techs pointed out that it is good to look at the list of breeds identified. Turns out that when she had her dog Grommit analyzed, they didn't have Schnauzer on the list yet, and thus there was a large chunk of "Unknown" on her report. (Looks like all sizes of Schnauzer are on the list now.)

Here are the breeds that they don't have.

American Foxhound
Anatolian Shepherd Dog
Beauceron
Black and Tan Coonhound
Canaan Dog
Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Dogue De Bordeaux
English Foxhound
English Toy Spaniel
Finnish Spitz
German Pinscher
Harrier
Komondor
Kuvasz
Lowchen
Miniature Bull Terrier
Neapolitan Mastiff
Otterhound
Pharaoh Hound
Plott Hound
Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Puli
Skye Terrier
Tibetan Mastiff
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

So, if Grete has trace amounts of Anatolian Shepherd in her report, it will show up as unknown. (BTW, when I adopted Grete, they had typo'd Australian Shepherd to Anatolian Shepherd on her adoption papers.)

It looks like the report won't have percentages, but it will rank the amounts of each breed, ranging from significant to trace. It will report the breeds like so:

You Should see traits from: X
You May see traits from: Y
There is a slight Chance of seeing traits from: Z

Someone suggested I should start a betting pool for Grete's breed mix. Since we don't have exact percentages, it might be tricky to get this going.

Maybe readers of Meta Grete can write in with their breed favorites, I can give them odds, and then they can bet with their three-tiered breed list. (Significant, Some, Trace)

Would that work? I don't know a lot about betting pools or odds, so I might make a bad bookie. :P

Regardless, they said the results could come in 10 days -- or 4 weeks. I've marked my calendar. June 13th - June 27th. If we don't hear back by the 4th of July, I'll be sad.
