Behind Every Paw Print, There’s a Story.

Here’s Ours 🐾

MuttMix has been helping South African dog lovers uncover the fascinating stories hidden in their dogs’ DNA for many years. But in 2025, a new chapter began when Megan and Wayne took over the reins.

“With a shared love for dogs, a passion for rescue and one very opinionated furry supervisor named Shadow, we set out to make MuttMix more than just a DNA testing service.

For us, it’s not simply about percentages, breeds and scientific results. It’s about the dogs behind those results, the families who adore them and the beautiful stories that make every mixed-breed dog one of a kind.”

Meet the Humans Behind the Paw Prints 🐾

Megan – The Chief Everything Officer

By day, Megan works a full-time job. By evening and weekend, she swaps her regular responsibilities for DNA kits, customer emails, packaging orders, coordinating results and occasionally negotiating with a fluffy supervisor who believes every parcel should contain something for him.

MuttMix is her passion project, fuelled by a love for dogs, a little too much multitasking and the firm belief that sleep is probably overrated.

Wayne – The Silent Partner (Very Silent)

Wayne is the other half of the MuttMix ownership team, specialising in moral support, occasional heavy lifting and providing opinions when specifically requested.

His input is highly valued, particularly on the rare occasions when someone remembers to ask for it. 

Felicia – The Daytime Lifesaver

While Megan is busy at her day job, Felicia helps keep the MuttMix wheels turning! She monitors emails, coordinates courier collections and helps make sure the important behind-the-scenes details are taken care of during business hours.

Essentially, she’s the reason things don’t have to wait until Megan gets home!

Shadow – Chief Canine Officer & Head of Quality Paw-trol

Officially, Shadow is our beloved rescue boy and MuttMix mascot.

Unofficially? He’s the CCO, Head of Treat Acquisition, Packaging Inspector and self-appointed Director of Human Resources.

His qualifications include extensive experience in supervising humans, testing squeaky toys and looking deeply offended when someone uses the word “NO”.

He maintains that MuttMix wouldn’t survive a single day without his leadership.

We’re not entirely convinced. But he has requested that we don’t investigate further.

Together, we’re a small team with big hearts, a healthy obsession with dogs and a shared belief that every dog deserves to have their story celebrated.

We might not have a fancy corporate office or an army of employees, but what we do have is genuine passion, personal attention and one extremely fluffy boss who takes his job far too seriously. 💙🐾
