Thanks to a new test from Mars Veterinary, called the Wisdom Panel, I can discover the ancestry of any dog with a simple blood test. The premise behind the test is that the genes of purebred dogs contain signals, or specific DNA sequences, at different locations within the genome that uniquely identify the breed. By collecting blood samples from thousands of purebred dogs, Mars Veterinary was able to map these sequences and created a database containing the unique DNA signatures of more than 130 breeds. By comparing the DNA from a small blood sample from Fido Q. Mixed-breed to their database, Mars can tell me what breeds make up Fido.

I am trying to find out the true breed of my dog. He’s got the body and face of a Lab and the exact color layout of an American Staffordshire Terrier. I have always thought he was a Fox Hound, but now that I look on the Dog Breed Websites, I dont think he looks anything like a Fox Hound. Can you help me boil it down to atleast 1 or 2 breeds without a picture?
