I took this picture of my dog, Bootsy, yesterday. According to the DNA test I had done, he’s roughly 1/2 American pit bull terrier, 1/4 American Staffordshire terrier, 1/8 German short haired pointer and the rest super mutt (a bunch of other breeds that can’t be determined).

Was it expensive, the test? I always wondered what is my dog's ancestry.

It was $159, but that includes breed/ancestry as well as a health report, which looks for genetic markers of various health traits. You can also find siblings/family members of your dog if they have also done the test. I connected with 3 of my dog’s siblings owners. It’s almost exactly like 23 and me, but for dogs, and called Embark.
