What to know what breeds of dog your mixed-breed is?

DNA testing can find out.

There are a couple of laboratories that'll analyze saliva from your dog and can ascertain from what breeds he or she is descended from. And it looks pretty cheap, about $65.00.

My dog Max is a mutt that no one seems to know what he is. I could probably make use of this.

These labs have assembled DNA maps from several AKC breeds. By analyzing your dog's DNA, they can tell you if he's part beagle, or part dachshund, or part golden retriever, or who knows what.
