The Wisdom Panelcomputer algorithm performed over seven million calculations using 11 different models (from a

single breed to complex combinations of breeds) to predict the most likely combination of pure and mixed breed dogs inthe last 3 ancestral generations that best fit the DNA marker pattern observed in Pig. The ancestry chart depicting thebest statistical result of this analysis is shown in the picture below.

Boxer

EARS MUZZLE TAIL

The history of the Boxer dates back to nineteenth century Germany, where they were used for hunting deer and boar. Theancestors of the Boxer include the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer, which are now both extinct. The crossing of thosebreeds with the English Bulldogs of the 1830s resulted in the Boxer as we know it today. Boxers were bred to be huntingdogs and they earned their name from the boxing pose they are known to take when standing on their hind legs. Later inthe breeds development, it was made apparent that they were also well-suited for herding and the Boxer was used in morethan a few circus acts due to its ability to learn tricks quickly and perform them on command. The popularity of Boxersstarted to increase rapidly in the 1860s when the German Boxer Klub was founded. At the turn of the twentieth centurythe Boxer made its way to the United States and the American Kennel Club recognized the Boxer as a breed in 1904.

The AKC breed standard for boxers requires that they come only in fawn and brindle (black and brown stripes) with thefawn ranging from a light tan to mahogany and restricts the amount of white seen on the dog. Accepted traits include ablack mask commonly seen in the breed. White boxers also have a following; though do not meet the breed standard.

Do You Recognize Any of These Boxer Traits In Pig?

Intelligent, hard working, and playful dogs, with a highamount of energy.

Boxers seem to enjoy dog sports such as agility, flyball, rallyand competitive obedience.

Eager to learn and respond well to reward-based trainingusing treats and favorite toys.

Tendency to jump up on people, sometimes boxing with theirfront feet when doing so.

Chow

EARS MUZZLE TAIL

The Chow Chow is a venerable breed dating back at least two thousand years. Many believe that the breed originated inChina, but there is some evidence that indicates the Chow Chow actually migrated to China from Mongolia and Manchuria.While no one can say for sure from which breeds the Chow Chow has descended, it is believed that the breed has Tibetanmastiff and Samoyed in its bloodline. The Chow Chow served a dual purpose in China. Some were used for hunting whileothers were used to guard the sacred temples from evil entities. The East Indian Company brought the Chow Chow toEngland in 1781 and Queen Victoria received Chow Chows as a gift in 1865. During the 1880s, the numbers of ChowChows imported increased drastically. The Chow Chow is one of the oldest known breeds, recognized by the AmericanKennel Club in 1903.

The Chow Chow comes in either rough or smooth coat, with the rough having a more fluffy appearance. The coat mayhave lighter shading and be one of five colors; black, blue, cinnamon, cream, and red, which varies from a light goldento a deep mahogany. The Chow is famous for its blue mottled tongue, and sometimes has a black mask.

Do You Recognize Any of These Chow Chow Traits In Pig?

Reputation as a loyal family dog. Reserved and wary with strangers.

Independent spirit, but responds to reward-based obediencetraining.

May require socialization to reduce defensive aggressivetendencies. There have been reported incidents of ChowChows being aggressive with other pets or people.

Terrier

EARS MUZZLE TAIL

The American Staffordshire Terrier can trace its roots all the way back to the nineteenth century in England. The EnglishStaffordshire Terrier was created when various terriers were crossed with the Bulldog. The crossbreeding resulted in theactive and powerful breed that came to the attention of the United States public in 1870. American breeders then focusedtheir attention and efforts to increasing the size and weight of the American Staffordshire Terrier. These breeding effortsresulted in a Staffordshire Terrier that was recognized as a separate breed by the American Kennel Club in 1936. In1972, the current name of American Staffordshire Terrier was adopted. The American Staffordshire Terrier was onceused primarily for fighting. That practice, however, was banned in the early 1900s and two separate variations of the

breed were gradually developed.The American Staffordshire Terrier can be any color, with solid, particolor, or patched black, brown, tan, brindle (blackand brown striped), liver, red or fawn. Black or blue mask, brindle or tan points are commonly seen traits in this breed.Ears may also appear different due to cropping.

HOW KEY PHYSICAL TRAITS ARE INHERITE

The Influence of Breeds on Appearance

This report reveals the breeds detected in your dogs DNA. It also includes checklists of physical traits associatewith these breeds. Breeds can combine their influences in countless, fascinating ways. Its the unique combinatiothat makes your dog one-of-a-kind.

Your dog may behave like, or strongly resemble, just one of the breeds in its makeup. However much more commonyour dogs looks and personality will blend aspects of these breeds. In the example below you can see how many oFrankies physical traits are due to a blending of breed influences.

FEATHERING

The longer hair on thelegs, tail and around theears, is due to dominantmodifier genes availablefrom the ShetlandSheepdog.

BLACK PIGMENT

This coloring in thenose, eye rims, lips anpads on the feet is duto one copy of the blagene variant, availablefrom all three ancestrabreeds.

WHITE SPOTTING

This is due to a lack of pigment andis often found in the extremities (feet,chest, face, etc.), but can also extendover more of the body. It can be due tomany genes including those found inthe three ancestral breeds here.

BRINDLE COAT COLOR

The black and tan striping in Frankiescoat is a dominant trait coming fromone copy of the brindle gene variant.This is available from the ItalianGreyhound, Parson Russell Terrier andShetland Sheepdog.

SHORT HAIRThis is due to one copyof the gene variant fromthe Italian Greyhound othe Parson Russell Terr

that is dominant over thlong coat gene from theShetland Sheepdog.

MIXED BREED SIGNATURES (IF DETECTED

What Does the Mixed Breed Ancestry Mean for PIG?

A portion of Pigs ancestry was predicted to be mixed beyond the three generations we test for. It is

difficult to identify strong breed signals in this mixed portion, so we have listed the five breeds with thestrongest statistical likelihood below.

The breeds are listed in order of strength with the most likely at the top of the list. One or more of thesebreeds MAY HAVEcontributed to the genetic makeup in the mixed breed icon(s), but it is highly unlikely thatall these breedsare present in Pigs ancestry.

Note that there could also be a breed or breeds present in the mixed breed component that cannot bedetected with the current database of over 200 breeds.

Portuguese

Water Dog

Alaskan Klee Kai

ScottishDeerhound

Maltese

Lakeland Terrier

Predicted Adult Weight Profile

Based upon the breeds detected in Pigs ancestry and the genetic markers analyzed by Wisdom Panel, as well as thinformation provided that Pig is Femaleand Intact, we have calculated the likely weight that Pig should reach whean adult. The Wisdom Paneltarget weight profile is presented as a range based on the unique mix and proportioof breeds detected.

If Intact, the adult weight is predicted to be between 36 - 58 lbs.

If Spayed, the adult weight is predicted to be between 40 - 63 lbs.

Many factors can influence an adult dogs weight, including sex and neuter status. Both of these factors have beeused to calculate the predicted weight profile. Another major influence on canine weight is body condition scorewhich is a factor of your dogs lifetime nutrition and exercise regimen. If your dogs body condition is different fromthe ideal bodycondition score, we anticipate that your dog might be under (if underweight) or over (if overweighthe weight predicted by Wisdom Panel.

To learn more about assessing body condition score, please use the Royal Canin Body Condition Score Chart:http://about.royalcanin.co.uk/dog-body-condition/

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIO

Thank You for Using Wisdom Panelto Uncover the Story of Your Dogs

Ancestry!Congratulations on taking the steps to learn about Pigs ancestry and to understand whatbreeds are in your mixed breed dog using Wisdom Panel! Knowing your dogs breeds

is more than a novelty - it is a medical necessity. Each breed in your poochs geneticpaw print has unique health concerns you should know about so that you can providea lifetime of excellent care.

We recommend discussing your dogs ancestry report with your veterinarian, as he or she can help you use your WisdoPanelreport to help better care for Pig. The next time you visit your veterinarian, consider asking these questions iaddition to any you come up with on your own:

Are there any specific issues that may be relevant to my dogs well-being?

Are there any special techniques that may help in training a dog with this particular mix?

Are there any particular dietary considerations to bear in mind for a dog like mine?

How Wisdom Panel WorksThe process started when you sent a sample to our laboratory, where the DNA was extracted from the cells anexamined for the 321 markers that are used in the test. The results for these markers were sent to a computethat evaluated them using a program designed to consider all of the pedigree trees that are possible in the lasthree generations. The trees considered include a simple pedigree with a single breed (a likely pure-bred dog), twdifferent breeds at the parental level (a first-generation cross), all the way up to a complex tree with eight differengreat-grandparent breeds allowed.

Our computer used information from over 200 breeds and varieties from our breed database to fill these potentiapedigrees. For each of the millions of combinations of ancestry trees built and considered, the computer gave eaca score representing how well that selected combination of breeds matched to your dogs data. The pedigree witthe overall best score is the one which is shown on the ancestry chart. Only breeds that reached our set confidenc

threshold for reporting are reported in the ancestry chart.

Terms And ConditionsEach dog is unique and their physical and behavioral traits will be the result ofmultiple factors, including genetics, training, handling, and environment. Using

a proprietary analysis and database, Wisdom Panel2.0product can provide

insight into the breed ancestry of your dog. The Wisdom Panel2.0product isdesigned and intended to be used solely to either identify the genetic breedmakeup and predict the adult size of such a mixed-breed dog, or to confirm thegenetic profile observed in a tested dog matches a particular breed profile. Noother purpose is intended, authorized, or permitted.

Upon receipt of your sample, Mars Veterinary will analyze your dogs DNA todetermine the breed(s) present in your dogs recent ancestry. In the case of a

likely purebred dog, this will involve a comparison of genetic profile in your dogto a proposed breed. In the case of a proposed crossbred dog (i.e. a dog withancestry from two different purebred parents), this will involve determining theheritage of your dogs sire and dam. In all cases this is done with a reasonabledegree of certainty.

Mars Veterinarys testing procedures are designed to provide reliable andaccurate results. Mars Veterinary is not responsible for any errors in obtainingthe swab sample or for any injuries or loss that may occur as a result.

In the unlikely event that it is not possible to determine breed history or thaerror in the analysis occurs, liability by Mars Veterinary or related companiesindividuals is expressly disclaimed. Damages, if any, are limited to the paymactually received by Mars Veterinary for the specified analysis at issue.

Wisdom Panel2.0 is based upon the Mars Veterinary database of validbreeds. If your dog contains other breeds, it may result in the identificatiobreeds, or a combination of breeds in the database, related to the breedyour pets history.

Many countries and provinces have breed-specific ordinances and laws that

require special handling or prohibit the ownership of some dogs with a particbreed in their genetic background. Wisdom Panel2.0is not intended to be by regulatory or animal control officials to determine whether a particular b

is legislated or banned in a particular country or province. Nor is Wisdom Pa2.0intended to be used in any judicial proceedings. Rather, it is intended tused as a tool or resource in determining a dog's genetic history. Neither MVeterinary nor any related company is responsible for compliance or notificaregarding these matters.
