DNA

My mom gave me a DNA test kit to use on Ahi to determine what breeds she has in her.

This morning I did 2 cheek swabs to send into the lab.  It was a disaster!  You are suppose to use a little brush to scrape the inside of their cheek.  And you are not supposed to hit their teeth with the brush.  At one point, she was licking the brush and another time the brush was near her tonsils!  And I think I cleaned every tooth in her mouth with the brush - sort of like I was a dental hygienist.   I don't have much hope that the test is going to give us any accurate data.

Stay tuned!
