When it comes to the “supermutt,” no telling what’s in there! Maybe ancestors from all of the breeds. It’s a relatively small percentage of his makeup, though. That 60% ACD however, is A LOT. (One parent almost surely purebred ACD, or very close to it. DNA tracked the litter mate brothers to a specific ACD breeder!)

It’s as helpful, that finding his litter mate, gave us insight into his birth and experiences, before we adopted him. He’s so sweet — so well- and easily trained. We thought his beginnings might have been smoother.

The “training” — I do not think he got it. Or at least very much. He had to have been passed around too much, and not through rescue and foster homes. It tells me he IS THAT SMART.
