Lacey's results!
I think her results are spot on! She is a little more mixed than I thought she would be, and I don't really see boston terrier. But, my husband guessed the pit! Over all very pleased.

I'm not surprised there's little Boston in her appearance; it's not like traits will be passed down automatically. Some like short hair are dominant, but genetics can be crazy.

She obviously really takes after her Beagle grandparent the most, but I can see traces of the Am Staff grandparent, too - she's just a little bigger, a little sleeker, a little thicker around the neck, and little more athletic/muscular looking and with slightly smaller/shorter ears than a full Beagle!
Did you indicate you thought she might be purebred Beagle when you sent the sample in? I haven't seen them give the PCA analysis otherwise, and I don't think I've ever seen one that maps the three closest breeds like that period! Very cool.
Yeah I did! We knew she wasn't pure bred beagle, but since we were certain she was part beagle I wanted to see her compared to beagle DNA clusters. I am really glad I did that because the results are so cool to see!
Really? That's interesting, I thought they always included the PCA analysis. I didn't indicate anything when I sent mine and they included it but maybe that's because she turned out to be "purebred."
