No. Every dog on earth is the same. Breeds only exist because people made them up. Genetically, every dog is identical.

Yes, there is a DNA test, but it's generally only used to prove parenthood. And in that case you would need DNA sample from the sire and dam. Unfortunately, you can't find out who the parents are without testing them too. But the DNA test can prove what breed she is.

you can determine a dogs breed by DNA testing, i had a friend who took in a stray but was desperate to find out the breed of it, so she looked around and found a clinic for this and had it tested, they told her what breeds she had in her dog.
