I second that. I thought maybe I was crazy and I know breeding can be different and my Doberman has cropped ears, but Emmie doesn't look like my Doberman. Not completely(besides the color difference too). She does look to have some kind of hound in her.

I am going to ask for a Doggie DNA test for xmas (might not get it, but maybe I will have someone pay for part of it or something, LOL) so I will let you all know what I get out of it :P I am going to look to see about doing a blood test version, it seems like it could possibly be more accurate than a swab test. Or so I would think.

She is deffinatly doberman.. Maybe somewhere in her lines there is possibly lab, but not much of it at all.. she looks almost purebred to me. If her ears were croped nobody would second guess her.

I've heard that too! I would check out reviews if you can of each test and choose that way...I wonder...*off to google*

I almost wonder if you just can't get results because dogs are the same species...and breeds were differentiated...like human races, they really are the same.
For instance, if you take me and someone of the same race who's unrelated, statistically speaking I likely am just as closely related to them as someone from a completely different race!
Sooo I almost think-maybe they are just silly right? But I hope they aren't because I'd love to have it done too!

So anyways here's what I found:

Biopet vet breed identification: AKC pitt found to be primarily border collie!
YouTube - Canine DNA test results
At the end it's funny, she tells her dog he's not going to get to keep his AKC championship title LOL

And another review on them

Article
DNA tests sniff out mutts' breeding - USATODAY.com

"
And, yes, a few dogs comprise so many disparate breeds, the experts and their tests just can't solve the puzzle.
"Even the best test can't answer every question of biology," says Dennis Fantin, chief of operations for MetaMorphix, a company in Beltsville, Md., that has done testing for the AKC for years. The company now offers a $119.95 mixed-breed cheek-swab kit. The Canine Heritage XL Breed Test can detect 108 breeds.
Sometimes, any pure DNA has become "so diluted" by encounters with mixed breeds over the generations that no answers emerge, Fantin says.
Their owners are told the mystery must remain."

Doggie DNA test aims to sniff out breeds - Does It Work? - msnbc.com

"
Bottom line: While Sherman remains a dog of mystery, the test appears to work perfectly for pooches who fall into the 38 breeds Canine Heritage can identify. If you’ve got a true mutt like I do, it might be worth it to wait for a future version that can test for more types.":

Determine Your Dog's Ancestry with a DNA Test - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com


"So the bottom line is, if your vet tells you that your dog is half Labrador Retriever and half Akita, he might not be correct. If you truly want to get a better understanding of the different breeds your dog's DNA comes from, have a lab perform a DNA test. Or if you're perfectly happy not knowing your dog's ancestry, that's OK too. Either way, you'll still love him"

^^See, I was thinking that might be the case, but honestly I knew one day I was gonna be spending 119 bucks or however much it is nowadays ever since the rescue said that they thought she poss. might be mixed with beagle. it is purely just a curiousity thing with me. At the dog park there was this dog, a mostly black with some white, clearly having some collie, or rather border collie, in her and when her owner got his test on her back it said she had some dobie in her, lol. so we would joke "oh jewel, you are one big bad doberman!"

LOL

Yeh-it's totally something I want to do-no matter if it's not that accruate right?

I want do two though-take a swab of Mikey and a swab of me. That way if they send back two certificates with dog breeds in them I know they are just making up results and not to put too much stock into what they say he is
(Or else I'm in really big trouble and should get my butt to obedience school and start learning to walk nicely on a leash!! LOL!)

Doberman is definately predominant! But the white chest and lenght of ears are a good indicators that its mixed with something else like you mentioned. Maybe American Foxhound-tend to be leggier hounds with ears not as long as other "hound" breeds like Bassett, Bloodhound, Black & Tan Coonhound etc...but you're right-definately some type of slender hound and Dobe...CUTE booties too (:
