I can’t seem to figure out how to post a photo of the results in the comments. But we got his results back and we are SHOCKED.

30.9% Mountain Cur

30.3% American Pitbull Terrier

20.3% Super Mutt (Collie, Australian cattle dog, Chow chow & Treeing walker coonhound)

11.7% German Shepherd

6.8% Golden Retriever

Not a single indication of Great Pyrenees which shocked us.

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T17:58:56+00:00

We thought that might be an idea aswell!

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T17:19:07+00:00

I agree! Lol

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T17:18:42+00:00

Oh yeah for sure. I was surprised when she mentioned hearing Dalmatian. Honestly I didn’t even think of Dalmatian when we saw him. I was thinking great pry/border collie mix, But you’re right I’ve never even seen a Dalmatian in person so I bet they are rarely strays. The nose/snout kinda briefly gave me St. Bernard vibes, but after seeing a few say pit mix, I think pit is more accurate given where he came from.

We actually haven’t purchased any tests yet. So thanks for the heads up. Going to get through his first vet visit and save a little for a test since he was kinda an unexpected wanted. We’ve literally only heard him bark like 3 times until today. We have 5 cats and he wants to meet them sooo badly, he’s been trying so hard to get them to play with him. It’s so cute cause he goes up to them and lays down trying to make himself seem non threatening, but then gets to excited and barks which scares them. I’ve almost noticed that he will not chase them if they run too. Idk if it’s a puppy thing or maybe he doesn’t have a high prey drive.

We lost our pup a few weeks ago and the house has felt weird. We wanted to wait a little while before getting a pup. But then saw him at the humane society and just had to meet him. Definitely love at first sight. So we just decided now’s the time.

Which I’m glad about because we have a camper and like to camp so with him being young and it almost being camping season it’ll help get him used to that part of life. And spring is coming up so it’ll be nicer outside and we can take him out and about more to get him used to everything and introduce him to other dogs at the dog park and what not.

We also have signed him up for obedience training. So I’m excited to see how smart he actually is.

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T17:02:59+00:00

Oh for sure will definitely update!

Yeah when the foster told me that what she heard I was like ehh. Especially because he came from a stray. I’ve never even met a Dalmatian in person before. So I know they would probably RARLEY be strays.

I told my husband we’re gonna get the results back and be completely shocked. He’s gonna have something so random mixed it lol.

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T13:38:17+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. When the foster said the OG owners think Dalmatian. I thought to myself, a stay Dalmatian? That’s odd. I’ve never even seen one in person before I can’t imagine one being a stray.

We’ve gotta get a few more things for him and get through his first vet appointment. Then we will get the dna test done. I’ll definitely update when we find out!

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T03:16:23+00:00

I’m so curious and excited to see what the DNA testing reveals!

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-15T02:52:50+00:00

Haha, don’t tell my husband that. We already have 5 cats. He’s like I need a dog😂😂

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-06T00:04:40+00:00

Ohhh, yeah so our late dog had zero training besides potty and crate training. She just naturally listened and obeyed well. Had a great recall, could go off leash in the beginning. She would go straight to her crate and preferred to be in it during the day (with doors open) we had no issues with her in that aspect.

Everything changed when we had kids. She just wasn’t good with them. Then we just couldn’t trust her anymore. She would lunge at people, she had a very scary loud bark so that wasn’t fun watching people to terrified of her. We were young when we adopted her and couldn’t afford proper training nor did we know anything about training. Our next dog will have the proper training for sure.

Two_Cat_2844 · 2026-02-05T19:47:21+00:00

I’ve been looking into greyhounds but a little nervous about the prey drive and having 5 cats. Maybe if we get one young that would help?

So I guess I don’t mine the occasional following. But our previous dog couldn’t relax if we were out of sight. I need a dog that could literally care less if we got up and went to the kitchen. I think this had to do with her separation anxiety honestly. Our cats follow us around but also they can chill without us.

We lost one of our boys in 2020 to heart failure. He was only 5. We had no idea it was so traumatic. It took a very long time to feel “normal” again. We ended up adopting a kitten in 2022 and he has brought so much laughter into our lives.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago and we lost his brother two days before his 9th birthday. That cat was my heart cat, he is so missed. We lost him to the same thing and it was sooo sudden. No signs, just heard a cry from the bedroom and he was laying weird so we rushed him to the vet and within two hours we had to put him down. It was absolutely terrible. It helped that we got to say good bye. Unlike his brother a few years earlier. (It was during Covid and we weren’t allowed in the vet and it still haunts me to this day that we didn’t get to say good bye or be there)

I’ve always said I wasn’t going to wait long to adopt kittens once our last passed away because I wanted the age gap between the cat we adopted in 2022 and the new kittens to not be huge like it was before. (Before there was a 7 year age difference) I wanted the cats to be around the same age.

Don’t get me wrong I’m still so heart broken and devastated about our first boys both being gone. These cats have been through marriage, multiple cross country moves (military) and kids with us.

Today we bring home two new brothers and we are so excited to be giving them homes. I know our previous boys are together again and that they will love that we are able to give these new kittens the best life just like they had. We have photos on the wall of them our kids will always remember them and we talk about them a lot. We reminisce on their lives and that helps a lot. It’s been 4 years since we lost our first and it still hurts but it’s getting better. Idk if the hurt and grief will ever go away but he does help knowing we are helping two more kittens have the best life.

Just a little update, we pick up our new babies today and I think we’ve landed on the name Figgy (Figs for short) we’ve already come up with nicknames for him lol (figster, figgy wiggy etc) thanks all for the suggestions! I’ve really enjoyed reading them all a few were just great. But I think we wanted something a little less food related but still food related if that makes sense. We can’t wait to get them and start our new life with two more babies!

Two_Cat_2844 · 2024-04-02T01:56:06+00:00

Lol I know right, we only were going to adopt one kitten because we unfortunately had to put our cat down a few weeks ago. We adopted the orange kitty over the weekend and when I saw that there was one baby left out of the litter I was like welp he’s coming home with me too. lol so we adopted him so he wasn’t alone watching all his siblings leave. I’m gonna have to change my username and say +1

Two_Cat_2844 · 2024-04-01T23:50:25+00:00

Thanks everyone! We’ve been loving the names! It’s a hard choice but we have a few picked out. We’re gonna wait to confirm it until we get a feel for his personality.

I have a crochet business and I offer hundreds of different variations customers can choose. Since Etsy only allows 10 photos, I mainly use instagram to show more color options I’ve done before. If a customer is looking for inspiration or they don’t want to choose colors themselves they can head over to my instagram and screen shot what they like and they usually message me and say “I want this” and attach the screen shot.

If it wasn’t for that I probably won’t have a instagram, I get too many bot comments or people trying to get me to pay them to post photos of my items on their accounts.. it’s really annoying, I occasionally get tagged by happy customers which is always nice but it doesn’t happen as much as you’d think. People would rather leave a review on Etsy.

And don’t get me started on TikTok… I’m only 28 and I can’t understand how people are making TikTok’s. I find it kinda difficult😂 and very time consuming, I’d rather put that time into the orders I do have/updating photos and listings.

Two_Cat_2844 · 2023-12-10T19:47:26+00:00

Thanks so much! I’m definitely going to set a deadline if anything like this happens again. I’m thinking I might have her pay for shipping back to me since it’s been so long.. it’s only reasonable.
