What is the reason for that, tazzman?

What would the results mean to you?

Adopt me please !
If your dog has pit in her you MAY NOT want to know ..... if you own a home, there are dog breed restrictions with most homeowner's policies, and they will either refuse to write you a policy, cancel your current policy, or raise your raise rate (the latter being the best scenario obviously).
When I had my Rotties I was told the only reason they wrote the policy on my next home was that I was already a customer (Allstate). Otherwise they did not write policies for homes with Pit Bulls or Rottweilers.

Is she supposed to be pure breed or a mix?

Maybe so. You have to admit, she does look to have the pit head.

Don't know if they are any better now but a few years ago a friend has his lab tested. She looked pure lab and know at least that the mom was pure lab. Test results came back listing two dominate breeds and one or two other possible mixes but none of them were lab.
The tests have purposely disincluded pits, staffies, and any "bully" breeds, so they could not be used as conclusive evidence in court cases. It will show the closest genetic match if you trace the lines back- boston terrier!
Most of my clients who have had mixes that looked very bully say the test comes back predominantly boston terrier, other owners say their test came back inconclusive.

When I was in Mobile area an RV park resident had adopted a dog from the Mobile shelter stating it was of a certain breed. After adoption, the new vet said the dog was a pitt bull. They were asked to leave the RV park because of the breed restriction. I didn't see the dog but a friend said that it was obvious it was primarily a pitt bull. I would've thought the adoptive family would've detected that but then again, maybe they were just ignorant of breeds. At any rate, they found another RV park that was Pittie-Friendly.
We got our dog DNA tested at our vet, results came back in about 3 weeks
found out he is a boxer/lab mix
This. They said he was boxer/lab mix Vet said it looked like he had great dane in him. I thought he had some pit in him. Sure enough it was lab boxer

But why would they do that?
If they include the most popular breeds of dogs, it should include the bully breeds. I guess it is good for the bully breed owner that wants to get homeowners or renters insurance from a company that won't insure them if
they have a bully breed.
But if I were paying $75 to $150 for the testing, I would want something more conclusive.
