Just Scotland Jess, but you should be able to get in online after the show has been aired. ;)
Here is the programme:

If Basenji isn't included in her breeding then I don't know! :rolleyes:

Do let us know if we can see the video on the net…
Its going to be so interesting for you to see what this test shows. -
Nicola - Have you had Roxy's DNA results yet?
I love the pictures of her on Facebook at the Scotland meet up - she certainly has the Basenjis play bow to a T!

Nicola has posted on FB. Vicky will be able to update you with the results if Nicola doesn't get back. It wasn't very convincing results for any of the dogs that were tested, the general conclusion was don't waste your money.

Hi Patty,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!
According to the results but Wisdom Panel Insights, Roxy is…..
Significant Russell Terrier (presumably Parsons?) x Australian Shepherd x minimal German Shepherd (but not enough to account for Roxy as an individual dog). :confused:
Somehow, I think not! I really don't believe Roxy has any sort of significan terrier in her. She really isn't bright enough to be a terrier! ;)
The guy from the company said the test is 'about' 90% accurate although he wasn't sure exactly. What is the point then? :confused: I'm really glad I didn't waste my money on it!
When I question him more on the fact that I still really think she is a Basenji cross, he then got his laptop out and pulled up some charts to show me that Basenji was in her, but again, not enough to show in her. Even less than the GSD. Hmmmm! Vicki suggested that maybe he just made that up to pacify me a bit? Who knows!
Roxy is what she always has been to me! :D
I now think this test is a money making scam, to be honest. I haven't heard many good reports about it at all!

Yes, like you say, Gerry, the other results were a bit ridiculous and it isn't worth spending any money on!

Didn't all 3 Dogs have some Australian Shepherd in them Nicola?
If so he must have been busy :D -
It sounds like a money making scan. At least now you can choose what dogs you want in her inheritance!!! Any how she is still the same beautiful Roxy who gives you so much enjoyment and love.

I kind of think this YouTube video pretty much sums up the accuracy of these tests.

Upon watching this video complete, my thoughts were; "That's hilarious!" Though I've contemplated getting my kids DNA'd, I really don't care - because they're mine for life. Assistance received here or there for training, nutrition, health or safety - "Thank you!" :)

Ooops - But I do think it would be fun to get the results. Thanks Nicola for doing this thread - It's quite interesting.
