Groucho's DNA results - what do you think?
We've wondered about Groucho's exact lineage since we got him - his breeder papers list his dad as "toy poodle type" and his mom as "miniature dachshund x Pomeranian cross", but a lot of people wonder if he has some Schnauzer or terrier because of his scruffy look, or some chihuahua because of his size...

Well, I'll let you all take a few guesses before I share the results :) (Yes, I know these things aren't 100%... I don't think any of them claim to be... seems to come pretty close though!) |
I have no idea what he is mixed with but I must say he is as cute as a button.
What a little gem!:cloud9: |
Jack Russell/Chihuahua He sure is cute. :thumbs up
|
:laughing: That saucer is bigger than [I]he[/I] is!! :D Great attitude on that cutie pie!!
|
first picture is total doxie! I know that face!
|
Affenpinscher mix?
|
I sure do see the pom in him, he's adorable!!
|
I have no idea what he is, but the suspense is killing me! :D
|
Alright, here it is...

I must be blind because I'm so not seeing that! He sure is cute though.
|
We figure, looking at him, the body and hair are very like a long-haired doxi (body is very long with a bit of a barrel chest). Legs are definitely the poodle part, and his snout to me look quite poodle-like.

Got the certificate in the mail today :)

That's so cool. I want to do that with my dog. I wonder what markers they use to differentiate between breeds? Even so, it sounds like a lot of fun to see what you get!
|
Such a snazzy certificate! Very cool! :D
