Enter here: http://www.gonetothesnowdogs.com/dayeight2016/ The Dog DNA Test Results are here! DNA test results for Oakley and Shelby have arrived! A few weeks ago we did an Embark Dog DNA test on both Shelby and Oakley to find out if they are both 100% Siberian Husky. The Embark Dog DNA test also tests for a list of other things! Today we are finally bringing you the results of that Dog DNA Test! And we are also giving away an Embark Vet Dog DNA testing kit to one of you lucky #Pawdience members! We want to give a huge thank you to Embark Vet for sponsoring today's giveaway! Be sure to go and get entered and come back tomorrow for more #12DaysofGiveaways !
We're coming at you today with day eight. I don't have anything in my hand of the 12 days of giveaways
And this is the one that you guys have been
Begging us to do I'm sure you can tell what it is by the title
So for those of you that are new to this channel, my name is Jess this is Memphis
that's Oakley and this is Shelby and today we are finally coming at you with the
DNA test results for those of you that may not remember or are new I will put a link to the original video that we
Did up in the card so you can go check that out for when we did the test itself
We finally have the results. We did a DNA test on Oakley and Shelby
We used the embark DNA test and I will put a link for the embark kits down in the video description below
And if you use the coupon code snow dogs
You can get $30 off your order of one of the embark kits and I would highly recommend it now
Basically what the DNA kit is for those of you that don't know is it tells us if the dogs are
What we think they are. Are you a hundred percent Siberian Husky? Are you mixed with something?
Are you a hundred percent Siberian Husky? Are you mixed with something?
We're gonna find out aren't we I already know and you well
I have I have Memphis's genetic history and her breed history going back generations from the breeder
We got her from so we didn't do a DNA DNA test on Memphis
We just did one on Oakley and Shelby because we thought it would be fun
so
Before we get into the giveaway for today, which I bet you already can guess what's being given away today
We're gonna get into the results of this test
Alright, so let's get to Oakley's results. What do you guys think? Do you think she's a hundred percent Siberian Husky?
We have done a DNA test on her before it was a different brand
I wanted to see if this one was similar the results of Oakley's doggy DNA test are
She is 100%
Siberian Husky, which I thought was pretty cool
I mean we kind of already knew that but I wanted to be sure the other thing we found out is Oakley's wolfiness
Which is an interesting thing is
1.1% I guess the wolfiness score is based on like a bunch of different markers across
The genome of dogs and it doesn't mean she has wolf in her it just means that
That's the percent wolf. I guess it's really interesting what all it says. I guess most dogs
Score 1% a lick in the couch. Most dogs have a wolfiness score of 1% or less
So Oakley is right in the correct range. Another thing that the DNA test tested for was actually
Her genetic age and
Believe it or not. I wasn't gonna believe it until they got Shelby's age, right?
But according to the DNA test Oakley's genetic age is 12 and a half
Which means she'll be 13 years old in May
So it is her genetic age, but it gives us a good idea of how old she actually is
So she's probably about 12 and a half years old. I've always guessed her around 11 or 12 at this age
So I think they got that pretty close
Are you having fun sitting on the couch? As for all of the other things they tested for her health report came back good
And her advanced reports all came back good
So for all of the different things that they tested her for she came back negative for all of them
One of the things that this DNA test tests for is a multi drug sensitivity
It's where dogs can be sensitive to certain classes of drugs
Basically like there's a bunch of different drugs that dogs can have allergies to and it actually tests for that sensitivity
Which can be a really good thing
It's something that a lot of vets are now recommending be tested in dogs because you just don't know
sometimes it can have that gene can have
Problems with like anti-cancer medicines and what are you doing and different mutations and things like that?
So it's really cool that they test for that
Oakley came up clear for that and then
Degenerative myelopathy is another thing that Oakley came up clear for which it's it's a progressive
Degenerative disease of the spinal cord or disorder of the spinal cord. So apparently she doesn't have that either which is good
Those are just two of the things out of the 165 they test for so guess what Oakley?
You're really a husky, but we already knew that
Now for Miss Diva Shelby now for Shelby
I kind of think that she has some cephalosiberian in her and that's what gives her her really pretty coloring
Which is not very common in the Siberian husky breed, but it is common in the cephalosiberian breed breed
But this DNA test actually does not test for that breed. It's one of the very few breeds
They don't test for so it's not going to show that is
Shelby 100% Siberian husky according to the embark dog DNA test drumroll, please
Or jingle bell roll, please. Thank you Oakley for that
Yes, according to the test Shelby is
100%
Siberian husky
Shelby's wolfiness on the other hand and compared to Oakley's wolfiness is
2% so Shelby you have a 2%
wolfiness
Gene, I guess it would be called
It's a wolfiness score
It says here the score is based on hundreds of markers across the genome where dogs or almost all of them are the same
But wolves tend to be different
These markers are thought to be related to domestic gene sweeps where early dogs were selected for some trait
Scientists have known about domestication gene sweeps for years
But did not yet know why each sweep occurred by finding rare dogs carrying a wolf gene at a certain marker
We can make associations with behavior size metabolism and development that likely caused these unique
signatures of dogginess in the genome
How wolfy is my dog most dogs have a wolfiness score of 1% or less though occasionally we find populations or breeds with a higher
Score what it means for your dog your dog's wolfiness score is not a measure of recent wolf
hybridization
So Shelby you're not a hybrid wolf dog instead
The wolfiness score is based on the number of wolf genetic markers your dog has in our unique wolfiness marker panel
While these wolf genes or more scientifically speaking
Alleles, I'm sure I said that wrong could be in your dog because it is a wolf dog hybrid wolfiness scores
Below 10 are almost always due to ancient wolf genes that have survived many generations to be carried in your dog
So now that I read all that and I'm just gonna leave all that in there
So you guys know what the heck it is as well
Basically, what it's saying is it doesn't mean she's a wolf
It just means that those are some of the genes that may date back like
15,000 years or more from when dogs were wolves and they started to become domesticated
So that's interesting, but Shelby's wolfiness score is higher than Oakley's
Does that surprise you Shelby Shelby's like no and they have Shelby's genetic age at 74 human years
Oakley was 95 human years and if you break that down
That means Shelby should be around nine in dog years
Which she is and Oakley would be about twelve and a half in dog years
So that's pretty cool. And for Shelby's health report her health report also came back clear. She does
she does not have the
Drug sensitivity or the
myelopathy
Degenerative myelopathy she actually tested clear for everything
So the two conditions that they clearly point out for me are two of the genetic conditions that are common in the Siberian Husky breed
Which is why they clearly point them out
So that the results on that and where it shows up and what they tell you is going to be different on
Depending on the breed
But it also then shows you all of the other things that are that are tested for and whether or not they came back clear
Or not clear
So Shelby's not at risk for any of the things they currently test for
What do you think Memphis Memphis is like, um, the last two videos were about me this video should be about me
I want to be at the center of everything and I'm not so I'm just gonna pout over here
All right, you do that you pout over there
Should we get to the giveaway? Let's get to the giveaway. Did you wink at me?
I think you did pretty sure you just winked at me. Yeah, I think you did
Pretty girl you did it again. Are you winking at the pawdience?
Not you are aren't you?
So there you have it
There are the long-awaited results of the dog DNA test that you guys have been asking for for weeks
Just remember if you do get one of these kits
It can take like four to eight weeks to get the results back just depending on what's going on with them
So it can take a long time. That's why I kept telling you guys
I've only had these results for about a week now, so I didn't make you guys wait too much longer than necessary
But now I bet you want to know how to enter this giveaway
The first thing we need you to do leave a like on the video the second thing we need you to do
Leave a comment down below. What do we want to know today? Do you think the test results are right?
Do you think they got Oakley's age, right? Do you think Shelby really is a hundred percent Siberian Husky?
Do you think they're right and then two if you have a dog?
That's a mixed breed dog
Would you do a DNA test on your dog to find out or do you have any good guesses of what your dog might?
There's some fun questions you guys talk amongst yourselves in the comments
now
