A dog DNA testing company in Toronto is in hot water after it deemed samples from a human investigative reporter to be part Alaskan Malamute, Shar-Pei and Labrador.A Toronto-based company that analyzes canine DNA is in the doghouse after an investigative report raised questions about the accuracy of its dog breed identification tests. The company, however, has stood by its services in communication with Global News.

In an email to Global News on Thursday, Barnett said it was “unfortunate that the accuracy of our canine DNA test has been called into question over the repeated submission of human DNA samples.”Neurological conditions affect 3.4B people worldwide. What about Canada?She noted that the company’s tests are not designed to handle DNA that didn’t come from a dog.

Barnett also claims that when WBZ sent samples taken from Hager’s cheek, the first sample “failed our analysis” and “was indeed non-canine DNA.” As for why the second sample was able to produce a breakdown of dog breeds — even if only human DNA was present — Barnett explains that DNA My Dog uses an algorithm to produce these dog breed analysis reports.
