Doggy DNA tests

Does anyone have info on the dog DNA test kits?

I've been doing some research and they appear to be ....well...sketchy.
There are only so many breeds in each database and if your dogs breeds aren't in there, you can get some weird results. Such as it reading "Boston Terrier" when the dog is part "Staffordshire Terrier", which isn't in the database.

For anyone not following the story of my life, I have adopted a ginormus puppy, named Homer (DOH!) that is supposedly Newfoundland and either Husky or Malamute. The vet says she thinks Chow and Shepard. I'd just like some educated guesses, mostly for fun, because it really doesn't matter now!

So, what do you think? Find a test kit that lists all the suspected breeds and spend the roughly $60? Or just let everyone take a WAG and assume you're all correct???
After all how could a bunch of degenerates on the internet NOT correctly identify the breed of a dog using only one crappy photo?

That's not attached to this post.

What could possibly go wrong?
