Attention all you big dog lovers… You know DNA is a funny thing, for instance I love when humans try to guess who my relatives are. Most people are surprised at how big I am, but then there’s more of me to love and I tell them it’s polar bear DNA, I’m strong but gentle. I’m friendly and keen to say Hi to everyone I pass.

Shelter breed labels are an educated guess from a dog's looks, and they are often wrong. If you adopt Ponyo, a DNA test can show the actual breed mix, which helps you plan training, exercise and health checks. See how the two main tests sold in Canada compare.
If Ponyo isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
