YOU HAVE A LABRADOR RETRIEVER, AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG, STANDARD

SHORTHAIRED DACHSHUND MIX

The Wisdom PanelInsightscomputer 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 in the last 3 ancestral generations that best fit the DNA marker pattern observed in Civil. The ancestry chart depicting

the best statistical result of this analysis is shown in the picture below.

The Labrador Retriever can trace its roots to the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The breed dates back to at

least the seventeenth century when they were known as the Lesser Newfoundland. The breed is believed to

have descended from the extinct St. Johns Water Dog which was a cross between native water dogs and the

Newfoundland. Labrador Retrievers were initially trained to retrieve fishing nets from the cold waters of the

North Atlantic. Fisherman brought them to England in the nineteenth century where they were lauded for their

swimming, retrieving and hunting skills. The Earl of Malmesbury is believed to have coined the name Labrador

in order to differentiate them from their Newfoundland ancestors. During the 1800s, a heavy dog tax in Canada

and quarantine laws in Britain drastically cut the number of Labradors in the U.K., but a good breeding program

replenished the stock. Labrador Retrievers were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1917.

The Labrador Retriever comes in solid black, chocolate, and yellow. The yellow varies from a pale cream to

a rich red fox color. Some Labradors also have white chest blazes. The Dudley variant is where the nose is

pink, though this is quite rare. Non-AKC registries sometimes recognize a Silver Variant though this may be

classed as chocolate by the AKC.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE LABRADOR RETRIEVER TRAITS IN CIVIL?

Usually happy-go-lucky, calm, or easygoing dogs,

though some may be energetic.

Usually friendly and are generally good family

dogs.

Labrador Retrievers enjoy dog sports such as

agility, hunting, tracking, rally and competitive

obedience; retrieving and swimming.

Quite food motivated, which may make it easier

to teach the Labrador Retriever to drop retrieved

items not intended for play.

EARS MUZZLE TAIL

The Australian Cattle Dog was developed in the late nineteenth century. Australian settlers were in need of a

dog that had the stamina to withstand the rigors of the harsh climate and conditions of the country. They also

needed a dog that would be able to properly herd their animals. The breeding efforts began in the 1830s when

a native Dingo was crossed with a blue-speckled, smooth-coated Collie imported from Scotland. The litter that

resulted is considered to be the Australian Cattle Dogs earliest direct ancestors. The breed was introduced

into the United States by two Californian fanciers in the late 1960s and the American Kennel Club recognized

the Australian Cattle Dog as an official breed in 1980.

The Australian Cattle Dog comes in either Blue Speckle (black, gray, or tan) or Red Speckle, where the coatis speckled or mottled. Black, red or tan patches or markings also exist.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG TRAITS IN CIVIL?

Intelligent, active, energetic, and watchful dogs.

Eager to learn and responds well to reward-based

training, allowing them to participate in activities

such as agility, flyball, and Frisbee.

Herding tendencies may lead to chasing cars or

herding children.

May be suspicious or cautious around strangers

requiring careful socialization with rewards to

prevent or reduce fear-based defensive aggression.

Dachshund

EARS MUZZLE TAIL

The Dachshund, also known as the hot dog or wiener dog, dates back to the fifteenth century. Many accept

the theory that the breed originated in Germany, although there is evidence that suggests that the breed may

also have been present in Greece, Egypt, China and Mexico. The Dachshund was originally developed to hunt

badgers, but they are also well-suited for hunting larger game. In 1888 the German Dachshund Club was

founded and a breed standard was developed in an effort to promote a dog that was as beautiful as it was

intelligent. The short-haired, or smooth variety is the oldest and original type of Dachshund breed. The standard

size is also assumed to be the default size before the breed was further diversified and miniaturized. The breed

was introduced to the United States in 1885 and received American Kennel Club recognition at that time.

The Standard Shorthaired Dachshund has a variety of coat colors with solid or bicolor combinations of lightand dark black, red and tan shades. The brindle and dapple patterns are also sometimes seen in this breed

as well as blue eyes.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE STANDARD SHORTHAIRED DACHSHUND TRAITS IN CIVIL?

Alert, lively and active dogs.

Enjoy activities that take advantage of its keen

sense of smell like earthdog trials and both

outdoor and indoor tracking. Many retrieve tennis

balls.

Because of their background as hunting dogs may

engage in behaviors such as barking, scratching at

the ground or digging and chasing wildlife.

May be suspicious or fearful of strangers, in some

cases as a way to avoid discomfort from being

picked up due to their long-backed body.

HOW ARE KEY PHYSICAL TRAITS INHERITED?

THE INFLUENCE OF BREEDS ON APPEARANCE

This report reveals the breeds detected in your dogs DNA. It also includes checklists of physical traits associate

with these breeds. Breeds can combine their influences in countless, fascinating ways. Its a unique combinatio

that makes your dog one-of-a-kind.

Your dog may behave like - or strongly resemble - just one of the breeds in its makeup, but - much more common

- your dogs looks and personality will blend aspects of these breeds. Consider the example below...

In this example, you can see how many of Tulas physical traits are due to a

blending of breed influences.

copies of a genevariant and isavailable from the

WHAT DOES THE MIXED BREED ANCESTRY MEAN FOR CIVIL?

A portion of Civils ancestry was predicted to be mixed beyond 3 generations. While it is difficult to identify

strong breed signals in this mixed portion, the 5 breeds with the strongest statistical likelihood identifiedin the analysis of your dogs DNA are listed below.

The breeds are listed by the relative strength of each result in the analysis with the most likely at the top

of the list. One or more of these breeds could havecontributed to the genetic makeup of the ancestors

indicated by the mixed breed icon. Note that it is highly unlikely that all these breeds are present in Civils

ancestry.

There could also be a breed or breeds present in the mixed breed component that cannot be detected with

the current database of over 200 breeds.

PREDICTED ADULT WEIGHT PROFILE:

Based upon the breeds detected in Civils ancestry and the genetic markers analyzed by Wisdom PanelInsights

as well as the information provided that Civil is Femaleand Spayed, we have calculated the likely weight that Civ

should reach when an adult. The Wisdom Panel Insightstarget weight profile is presented as a range based on th

unique mix and proportion of breeds detected.

The adult weight is predicted to be between 39 - 62 lbs.

Many factors can influence an adult dogs weight, including sex and neuter status. Both of these factors have bee

used to calculate the predicted weight profile. Another major influence on canine weight is body condition score

which is a factor of your dogs lifetime nutrition and exercise regimen. If your dogs body condition is different from

the ideal body condition score, we anticipate that your dog might be under (if underweight) or over (if overweight

the weight predicted by Wisdom Panel Insights.

To learn more about assessing body condition score, please use the Royal Canin Body Condition Score Chart:

TERMS AND CONDITIONSEach dog is unique and their physical and behavioral traits will be the result of

multiple 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 Panel 2.0product is

designed 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 the

genetic profile observed in a tested dog matches a particular breed profile. No

other purpose is intended, authorized, or permitted.

Upon receipt of your sample, Mars Veterinary will analyze your dogs DNA to

determine 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 dog

to a proposed breed. In the case of a proposed crossbred dog (i.e. a dog with

ancestry from two different purebred parents), this will involve determining the

heritage of your dogs sire and dam. In all cases this is done with a reasonable

degree of certainty.

Mars Veterinarys testing procedures are designed to provide reliable and

accurate results. Mars Veterinary is not responsible for any errors in obtaining

the 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 tha

error in the analysis occurs, liability by Mars Veterinary or related companies

individuals is expressly disclaimed. Damages, if any, are limited to the paym

actually received by Mars Veterinary for the specified analysis at issue.

Wisdom Panel 2.0 is based upon the Mars Veterinary database of valid

breeds. If your dog contains other breeds, it may result in the identificatio

breeds, or a combination of breeds in the database, related to the breed

your pets history.

Many cities and communities have breed-specific ordinances and laws that

require special handling or prohibit the ownership of some dogs with a partic

breed in their genetic background. Wisdom Panel 2.0is not intended to be

by regulatory or animal control officials to determine whether a particular b

is legislated or banned in a particular community. Neither Mars Veterinary

any related company is responsible for compliance or notification regar

these matters.
