Solving the mystery of the mutt
The American Kennel Club recognizes over 200 dog breeds, while other foreign organizations recognize over 300. The International Cat Association recognizes approximately 70 domestic cat breeds. Every breed has DNA segments that are unique to them.
If you have a mixed-breed pet, you are aware that each individual is unique and that even littermates may not look alike. You may not obtain the complete story of your pet's genealogy if you only look at observable qualities or rely on vets' expert guesses or the word of unregistered breeders. When you have your pet's DNA tested, you will receive a complete report detailing the percentages of each breed contained in your pet's DNA. Some cat tests, such as the Basepaws DNA test, which is available on Chewy.com, even provide a ranking to illustrate how closely your cat's genes resemble those of wild cats.
