ARE DOG DNA TESTS INACCURATE? - DOG DNA REVEAL 

Genetics are strange bc genes are not distributed equally among siblings. So weird 😂

I LOVE what you do for humanity.

Your doggos are prettier than me. I dunno how I feel about that.

Anneka you are my favorite youtuber

They do this on human ancestry test. My full siblings and me have different percentage of different groups and my one brother has a group that I don't have. It's because parents don't drop equal amount to each child, but one child can have more from one parent and less from another.

Can you make a video about *Hierran Wolfdog* ? It's a wolfdog from Canary Islands, Spain. They look like Czechoslovakian Wolfdog and Saarloos Wolfdog. But unfortunately, there isn't that many pictures of them and the isn't much information about them on the internet. It will be great if you can come to Canary Islands, Spain and meet the breeders, just like you said you want to come to USA to meet Blue Bay Shepherd breeders. :)

You should pay for another test and see if the results are the same.

My biology professor stated that saliva isn't the best way to test any animal's DNA, because saliva also contains a lot of bacteria to start the process of breaking down food. And the bacteria can mess with DNA results because it is more to sort through to get only the DNA. The best place to get DNA results is the blood stream. As for the dilution of the wolf DNA, it should still be there in the family, even though the results of her relatives should a very low percentage, so it should be in your dog, even if it was only .5% in her DNA. I have heard of people getting less then 1% on where they had DNA from.

I love just watching Keoshi asking for cuddles - she doesn't seem to be too bothered either way!

DNA recombines and doesn't divide equally. Brothers and sisters often have different admixtures.

Genetics work in mysterious ways dominant and rececieved traits

I'm actually surprised at how accurate they were. All of the tests were coming back pretty much the same, wit minor differences. Better than I expected, based on some other things I've seen.

This video is 2 years old. DNA science and technology has evolved since then and will continue to evolve as more and more dogs are tested and the database is updated.

Thanks for the info.

But the Czech Wolf dogs came back Grey Wolf?!?!

Your so awesome especially your dogs and your videos are great

Hi, Anneka depends on who is doing the test, how the testing is also carried out in the laboratory, also if it's done before a full moon or during a fool moon, or after a full moon, being serious it is all down to how much money you are prepared to pay, by the way, there is vlog on RU-vid of a wolf stalking a White Pit Bull along the river bank in broad daylight, the Pit Bull is in the river aware of the wolf behind, as the Pit Bull decides to leave the river onto the river bank the wolf makes its move on the Pit Bull, the Pit Bull reacts to the attack by the wolf by accepting the challenge from the wolf to fight, guess what the wolf takes to its heels and runs away from the Pit Bull in pursuit of the wolf, the wolf was a large North American timber wolf, I think the Timer Wolf realised a bit too late that this dog was up for a fight and would win the fight, I think body posture played a big part in this engagement, watch it and let me know what you think I think the wolf was overmatched by the Pit Bull, by the way, that is only my opinion after watching the vlog, also how is your war wounds healing, also the best and most safe way for you to stop and separate them is use a small fire extinguisher the kind that you can keep in the kitchen to put out a fire quickly, well here is another way without injury to you or the dogs. All the best and take care, and keep on howling at the full moon.

I have always called Samoyed, "Sammy-Ed". I learned it as a kid in the US watching Lassie (Timmy fell in the well!).

I thought you already uploaded this a while ago? Why the reupload? 🤗

Beautiful dog.

Very interesting Anneka,thank you : )

Keoshi, "run of the mill"? I think not! Love you...and Keoshi, Anneka!

Another thing can happen... If they absorb a twin. The DNA will be different depending on the collection site. Hair could be entirely different than cheek, cheek might be different from blood. And so forth.

Love your channel!

Surprised? First glance at that dog I thought she was a husky German mix…

Love you big girl. She is magnificent!!

Thanks for posting this. I have wanted to get my dogs DNA analyzed. Was wondering what brand lead you use with your dogs.

I had the opposite problem. We got a DNA test done on my dog and my friends dog who is my dog's brother. My dog came out 8% gray wolf and her brother didn't have any wolf DNA at all. They both had all the same breeds as kyoshi minus the sammoyed.

Hey Anneka! I'm new on your channel and love your professionalism and attitude. I'm a husky/german shepard mix owner and he was a nightmare as a puppy, so it's great that you educate people how difficult it is :) I was wondering whether you've heard and saw the' misterious creature' shot dead in Montana, USA that turned out to be genetically a wolf? It didn't look like a wolf we know. Thougths? Love.

I tested my two "full blood" (according to the people we got them from) Chihuahuas with embark. Bambi...my deerhead female chihuahua was only 50%....her father was a chihuahua....her mother was a poodle/pomeranian/mutt mix with no chihuahua (I believe it). Sparky....who we knew WAS NOT FULL BLOOD, despite what we were told, was more min pin than chihuahua (omg does he ACT like a min pin)....his father was a mixed chihuahua/chinese crested (saw the father...believe that too)....and his mother was a min pin/chihuahua/mutt mix. I think embark is pretty accurate for what it is. This type of science is not an exact..... I used to have a Canadian Timber Wolf/Collie (lassie type)....but he passed away before these tests were available.

It's very common to cross Gwrman Shepherd with a malamute or siberuan husky and try to pass them off as a wolf dog hybrid. Many of the offspring will look more like a wolf to people than actual wolves. That was my first guess on the dog she has in this video.

I want to do one of these human 23&Me DNA tests.

they are the perfect than any other dna combined

I watched one last night and the result came up as 90% German shepherd when anybody with half a brain could clearly see the dog in question was 100% an Australian Kelpie / Blue Cattle cross, sometimes I think they just make these results up.

I really like seeing these tests. its very informative.. thanks .

The husky breeds, Samoyed, malamute, etc carry the wolf, but the wolf mixes differently in the breeding. All the DNA does. She may not have any wolf. Maybe the DNA didn't divide that way because it was such small amounts. Or because it is so we'll interested in the husky lines, it could have not separated off. That happens as well. Maybe she didn't get the same amount of wolf as some of her siblings. DNA divides differently.

I thought the point of the Tamaskan breed was wolf look with no wolf

I love your vids one of my favorite animals is wolf 🐺

I came across this video out of confusion about results. A litter mate, to my dogs was DNA tested because he is in training to become a service dog. His results: 75% APBT / 13% Boxer / 12% American Bully. I submitted my female, Sky's DNA. Her results: 86.3% American Bully / 13.7% Bull dog. Very, very, very different results. Due to this, I have submitted my male, Bruce, litter mate to both of the others tested, to see what results are provided. So, do I believe that the tests are accurate? Nope.

I want to do the test SO badly on my Tamaskan 😭😭

That dog wants a kiss. aww give her a kiss.

This vid was already aired previously.

Raven my dog daughter is, according to Embark; 50% Siberian Husky, 30.1% Border Collie, 11.2% Australian Cattle Dog, 8.7% Collie. I agree with the results. Raven's very intelligent which I would equate to a 5 y/o child; she's stubborn but obedient when I put my foot down; very protective, territorial of our house & 1/2 acre yard; playful and loves fetch and training. No greater love, but I wouldn't tell my girlfriend that.

When we tested our rescuedog we did not know he possibly had wolf in him, so we went with Wisdom Panel. The test says he is part “Wild Canid” on the side that is part German Shepherd and Husky. Now I wish I went with Embark. I have his test results up on his Instagram page instagram.com/aldothehappydog/

Cheers

My half sister and I both did 23 and me... our dna is only 23% similar because genes are not distributed equally.

It depends on how you look at it. It's in the different breeds already. No? Not missing. :)

😍😍😍

Different puppies get different genes so each puppy would have different results even if they have the same parents

She is persistent for attention! Too cute😉

Camels man..

Here's what I think is going on, I think the further the breeds generation goes the last wolf DNA will be in the results. That's what I think.

The host is my dream girl.

Going on my personal experience with Embark it seems to me that they lack something on the wolf side....my CSV came back 22% 'super mutt' and 15.5% grey wolf (plus GSD as expected) Surely if they are any good at what they do they would define 'super mutt' clearly and would have found Carpathian Wolf or European wolf. I wouldn't waste £150 again!!

I come here for wolf dogs, I’ve found a dog science class

I think you reuploded this video, right?

I think I might have a version of this but more severe to the dog side, my dog has no pedigre no known siblings except for one lost to going to new homes She has many wolfy traits and acts unlike most dogs alot like wolf dogs actually but not entirely sure as she came back 100% German shepherd

Does the Akita fit in here?

yes, not so much inaccurate as just plain ol wrong.. in my case. my dog part whippet and part spaniel, he weighed about 35lbs, had the classic whippet look, as well as the same whippet/greyhound gait when he would go full blast, all legs off the ground like only a whippet. his dna test came back saying he was part lab, part rotweiler. the test gave his ideal weight at 60-70 lbs etc just wrong on all counts. I wrote them back and they offered to test again but by that time he had passed. at the time I only knew for sure that his mom was a full blood whippet, later found out from the people that I rescued him from that his dad was a spaniel.

7:46 actually wrong. Czechs Wolf ancestor was female

are you swedish?

I do wish you would us CZECH REPUBLIC,,,,Slovakia is another Country,,,,,,,and has been for a number of years,,,

Hello mum

I know people who has American pitbull Terrier grey wolf mixes and I might get one and they are the sweetest looking wolf dog in the 🌎

Just found your channel after watching some Husky videos, I love your channel, you remind me of Steve Irwin, keep up the great work. P.s. I pray to find a beautiful Woman like you who loves animals like me

My dream team.....Anneka and Victoria Stilwell......yummy

recessive dominant DNA.. simple

I don't fing know

Too small for wolf tbh

SO....it's all bull and I shouldn't waste my money trying to find out my dog's genetic background? Thanks for saving me money.

your dogs need nail trims

first!

Dog is a dog and that is it, who cares what breed it is. Also quite pathetic that you let them lick you etc they lick all sorts of crap then lick you, you let them into your home, bed even. An animal should be outside not inside and licking you spreading all sorts of diseases. Can't even imagine this type of lifestyle, I would end up on a hospital bed in just a year from infections, astma and who knows what.
