DNA is back on Rylie and George :)

[Ryliesmom]

Hi everybody!! Happy August!

About 2 weeks ago I sent out a DNA test for both Rylie and George, and I got the results today. I was pretty shocked about Rylie and sort of surprised by no min pin in George.
So here are the results:
Rylie (the all black dog in the photos) 10 lbs, about 11 inches tall
One parent: mixed: chihuahua and pomeranian/lab/plott hound/dashchund/westie/black and tan coonhound.
Other parent...are you ready for this?!?!?!
Purebred Weimaraner!!!
no wonder she acts like a big dog in a little body, she's got bid dog genes to live up to

Now George:
one parent: chihuahua
other parent: rat terrier

there are a couple of pictures here, I will upload more of Rylie

This was very fun to find out

Hi there - I never thought about DNA testing for those with mixed breeds. I think it would be fun sometimes to know what the 'mix' is! I had a rescue dog a few years back and often wondered what she was mixed with. Our family had many good-natured discussions over that trying to solve the puzzle!

Wow, you're Rylie is really a wild variety of breeds, isn't he? But it all came together to make one beautiful dog! Both your dogs are sweeties.

The DNA testing is not at all reliable, so while it's a bit of fun, don't take it seriously.

Oh, that's interesting to learn. Thanks Nettle.
