ANCESTRY DETERMINATION

If you have a mixed breed, mutt or whatever and have wondered if you could determine what your dog's ancestry was, you may be able to find out.

It can be useful in understanding genetic medical problems associated with particular breeds.  For about $125 plus local vet fees, you can find out with about 98% accuracy. 
 

This site has a good page on all AKC-recognized breeds and some free posters of breed groups like the one above.  Click on it for more information about ancestry determination.

Here is a state-by-state listing of breeds and other information about what sort of dogs are most owned and how they were obtained. 

You can help this census, by adding information about your own sweet mutt/mixed. 
For a serious discussion of the origins of domestic dogs, please see the Origin and Evolution portion of The Complete Dog.
