Why is Basepaws switching to breed percent from similarity score?Updated 3 months ago

Our previous test asked, "What kind of dog is your dog most similar to?" For our updated test, we are asking a slightly different question: "What kind of dogs were in your dog’s family history?" By using a new, more powerful algorithm, we can identify broader genetic lineages and determine which components of your dog’s ancestry are recently derived from breeds and which are contributed by older, broader ancestral lineages that predate breed formation.
