Wow, that's one musclebound Whippet~!  I don't know about DNA testing, but, genetic engineering of animals (and humans) scares the heck out of me too.

This reminded me though.  Someone sent me a news article a few weeks ago, where there are now (or will be soon) DNA kits that you can use to see what mix your Mutt really is.  That would be kinda neat, I'd love to know for sure if Maple is a Boxer/GSD like the Rescue told me, or if she's a PB mix (Maybe I don't want to know, Insurance doesn't like PB's).
