I tested my dog’s DNA to find out her ancestry, here’s five things I learned

Lurcher dog standing in woodland.

I brought my rehomed lurcher, Dixie, home a little over six months ago and since then I have been trying to figure out exactly what sort of lurcher she is. She has long, coarse hair along her spine, but no hair at all on her belly and she is a bit too large to be a Whippet, but much too small and dainty to be all Greyhound. 

Finally, I gave in and invested in one of the best dog DNA tests, sending a mouth swab off to Wisdom Panel who promised to unriddle Dixie’s ancestry, potential health risks, and much more.
