I just had to write and thank you for solving the mystery of my rescue dogs’ heritage, which had been driving me mad!

I rescued Bo from Battersea Old Windsor, last year when I volunteered there. They were bought in with their spaniel mother when they were 4 days old, one had a tail and the other four didn’t which was a mystery at the time. An eagle eyed friend suggested that mum could be a Brittany spaniel as the litter can be born with or without tails.

I bought Bo home at six weeks old when he was just 2.4 kg’s – thinking that I had a possible Brittany/toy dog cross – but he grew and grew and his legs were very tall and gangly, he wasn’t your normal spaniel and people were constantly stopping me and asking what breed he was.

Finding myself answering Brittany because it was easy, I began to want to know the answer more and more. I saw your advert for “What Breed is My Dog” in a Dog magazine and got straight on to it.

Your prompt service and helpful customer relations team is very impressive. Simple instructions were sent and painless samples were taken and returned – and then the anticipation for 2 and a half weeks.

I thought that the result would be Brittany with maybe some Border collie and Jack Russell thrown in to the equation – I was so wrong………… Brittany x Weimaraner was the result – I think I’m still in shock over that one! I would never have known that ever, but then reading the behavioral traits of a weimaraner that you sent to me – it does explain a lot!

Thank you so much once again and if anyone reading this is in two minds whether to test their dog, I’d say go for it and you may be very suprised!
