This is Franklin. Dog DNA test said 45% border collie, 30% chihuahua, 20% pit bull and 5% “super mutt.” I thought he was just an overgrown Jack Russell on steroids when I adopted him, but I’ll believe the results because I spent $50 on them. The shot in the car is after an hour of chasing balls, and when Franklin pants like this, I can use my phone light to literally see straight into his lungs. #dogsofmastodon

Where did you get the test done for $50? I've only seen them over $100.
@md I got it done a couple of years ago by a company called Embark. Not sure if it’s still the same price. And I’m still skeptical but they send me pics of dogs with similar DNA to Franklin and they do look similar! Feels like a violation of the dogs privacy preferences, but I let it go.
@aleisner
It is now $109. I'm not that curious.
