Hi Cody- I agree that DNA tests are expensive, however sometimes knowing the breed/breeds that your dog is can be very useful. Most breeds have genetic predispositions to different diseases or they need a certain diet (example; Dalmations). It might also give you a clue to the mature weight the dog should be to keep him/her lean and healthy, as there are standards for weight depending on the breed.

Essentially it gives you an idea of what to expect and maybe the need for preventative action.
