The ap thought it was a basenjiā¦but he is a beagle-Jack Russel mix. Like a 40lb muscular Jack but the most gentle and calm dog you could imagine. Nose to he ground like a beagle but lacks the baying bark. Heās a great dog.

Yes, my dog had the scale problem. Heās an 11-lb Mexican Hairless/Chihuahua (probably) mix and he got results ranging from Corgi to Dutch Shepherd Dog.
Also Iām apparently a Border Collie which I have to admit surprised me. Have you SEEN my hair? I was 100% sure Iād get Poodle.

Our lab doesnāt do this specifically, but we do contract out to one of those DNA-ancestry companies. There are three marker sequences that are absolutely unique to humans, and we do check them. Itād be a pretty bad PR move to be testifying about someoneās paternity when some clever lawyer tried to have us establish human paternity from a chihuahuaās buccal cells. Yes, itās been tried.

Garbage in, garbage out. Assuming it is using some kind of neural network algorithm, applying stimuli outside the expected range will pretty much guarantee random results. And then there are the morons people deliberately trying to mis-train it.
So no, I will refer you to the proverb āA poor workman blames his toolsā.
You have just described the ideal dog!
