Side note: you can get a pretty robust genetic panels (health + breed) for dogs for about $150 now.

We did it recently on two of our pups (both mutts), and it was neat seeing the various possible lineages.

Our tiny terrier / beagle mix came back with >10% Chow & Siberian Husky. Never would have guessed that!

Time to do this would be before you acquired the dog, no?

Well, if you're adopting from a shelter, chances are the genetics are pretty varied.
