I used this kit from Amazon it is $70 (Maybe different for non-prime members?). You get the kit and have two swabs to use on the cheeks, then put them back in the box and mail it off. A box and shipping label are provided. You then activate the kit online and wait. It took about 15 days from the day I sent it off to get Missy's results. I found out about the kits on this sub! I didn't know about it either. I figured it was some highly expensive technical procedure only done by a vet :P
For best results, I think you aren't suppose to let them eat/drink for 2 hours before, or go outside and possibly get other DNA in their mouths. I'd imagine you'd want to separate your dogs if you have more than one, etc.
Definitely look for the owners, he/she looks healthy and cared for.
If you exhausts all avenues, there are doggy DNA tests you can do at home for less than $75

I can see whippet. You can always do a DNA test on her. It's not cheap, but it's an easy way to confirm the different breeds you've got in a mix:

When we rescued our pup, I was curious enough to do the DNA test. It was easy and took only a couple weeks. http://www.wisdompanel.com/ for more info. http://www.amazon.com/Mars-Veterinary-Wisdom-Panel-2-5/dp/B00U9AJB24 <= what I bought. It's fun to find out more info, plus it include a dna test for a gene that affects how your dog processes medication. We had to have that test done at the vet for a previous dog and it was around $40 for that alone. So, I figure for an extra $30, I don't have to wonder as much.
Btw, very cute pup and I could see potential Aussie there.
Wisdom Panel 2.5 (which is what I used) is $70 on Amazon right now! In my opinion, unless you think your dog is likely to be part or all of a really rare breed, that one is more than sufficient.
$70 on Amazon
I got Djangos for Christmas in 2013. I was told he was half English pointer and half boxer. I was satisfied with that so I left it alone. When I met my boyfriend last year he told me he thought Django looked like he had some pit bull in him.
I decided to get a dna test done on him, which I ordered on amazon. It said it would take 2 or 3 weeks to email me the results but I got them back a week later.
Turns out Django is:
One quarter pit bull
One quarter boxer
One quarter golden retriever
One eighth dalmatian
One eighth German short-haired pointer
The kit comes with two swabs that you use on your dog's mouth, you let them dry and you mail it in. It was well worth the 70 dollars I paid for it.

We actually did the Wisdom Panel test on Zeus, and they said he is a lab + schnauzer + whippet mix, among other things.
I'm not sure I completely believe it though, because while I can not see the schnauzer in him at all, he looks and acts a lot like a whippet and has some lab characteristics as well. He also is very shepherd-y in his coat and some behaviors.
I hope that helps!
Doggy DNA Test! Really cool to see the results. Ours is a Collie/Wheaton Terrier mixed with a Jindo/Pit Bull (https://www.instagram.com/lucyatheart/)

To warn you I have read that it is difficult to get a refund if you purchase through Amazon instead of the actual Wisdom Panel website. That being said though I had a great experience: I received the kit very quickly with Amazon Prime, and the results were sent to me only a week after the lab received the kit.
Oh wow, I would not have guessed she was that big!
I still see JRT and Chihuahua in her shape, expression and color... I honestly don't see many other obvious characteristics she might've gotten from whatever gave her the size. Her snout looks a touch wider than a JRT or Chi's... maybe there's a touch of Boston Terrier or something in there that's rounding out her skull some and widening the muzzle a bit?
Have you thought about getting a Wisdom Panel done for her? I'm curious to know what else is in there!
p.s. this is completely unsolicited feedback, but I think she looked like she was in great condition at 17lbs :)
