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...
We looked at a couple DNA kits at the stores that were $100+... then someone at the park recommended DNA My Dog - $60, they send you a kit, you take a couple swabs from the dog's cheeks, and then send them in. 2-3 weeks later... 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! |

Alright, here it is...
Which largely matches the breeder papers. No doxi, detected, but it could just be too small a percentage. As my wife puts it, "He's just a poodle with a bad hair day."

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.

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!
