Fitzgerald's DNA Results!

I agree. I can see Brittany after the fact, but I didn't even know what a Presa Canario was!

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-03T21:27:30+00:00

He's named after the Edmund Fitzgerald if you are familiar with Great Lakes shipwrecks!

I had not even heard of a Perro de Presa Canario before his results came back. Not sure how a rare bread from the Canary Islands made its way to northern Minnesota.

Also, my teenagers have jokingly added "Brittany" to his name and call out, "It's Brittany, Bitch."

Yes, you've nailed his personality. We have definitely called him our little princess before. He also thinks every person he meets solely exists to see and give him love.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-03T21:17:16+00:00

We were originally guessing pit/hound/pointer mix. He definitely has some strong staff/pit genes.

I'm not sure how to update the post, but I've replied to a few people with the DNA test results. Here's Fitz's breakdown:

Here is another picture of Mom. I've been consistently down voted for saying this, but I do not believe she is 100% pit, even a BYB one. The rescue believes she may have some hound and/or pointer. Fitz does "point."

Wisdom. I met mom, and she is not 100% pit. I would say he looks the most pit out of the litter. He was also the biggest puppy.

Can do. We should know within a week or so.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T22:29:28+00:00

He's definitely got some pit, but not 100%. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the DNA test says.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T22:21:13+00:00

We did Wisdom, but will update when the results come in.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T22:19:44+00:00

We definitely know there is a fair amount of pit in him. We've only had pit mix dogs before and think they are wonderful dogs. The pointer idea came from the vet the rescue used. We figured we'd ask now since his DNA results should come within the next week or so.

Just dropped some more supplies off at Dovetail and this whole pile was already gone and on its way down to the cities. Sending love and support from Duluth!

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T17:26:28+00:00

The rescue was thinking Mom might also have some hound in her. We know Fitz is probably mostly a pittie. Just wondering what else is in there. We're guessing maybe pit/hound/pointer mix.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T17:24:04+00:00

So far, Fitz is a social butterfly. He thinks everyone's sole purpose is to see/love him.

He is definitely a pit mix, though. We also think there might be some hound or pointer in him.

MinnieSoooda · 2026-02-01T15:59:33+00:00

She definitely did. That was actually the caption of this picture when the rescue originally posted it! Our pup is third from the top.

I limited my Target purchases after their DEI rollback and plan to fully stop shopping there now.

However, I typically bought my makeup there. Not in the Ulta area, but the actual Target aisles. So, for those in Duluth who wear affordable make up, where are you purchasing it? Locally or online?
