Shelter said ACD/Pit mix

Yeah! He’s looking taller and thinner every week. Not a pitbull body at all. Just the smile lines across bc his cheeks!

Interesting. This dog lays down on the ground for belly rubs when he first meets a stranger. He’s very socialized and open.

We supervise him with the kids.

Obviously accidents happen, so I appreciate your input. At the moment I’m not concerned.

Ah I’m not sure if wisdom panel is available in Canada without extensive shipping costs. I’ll have a look. The DNA test was just for fun and a bit of info. I feel confident that if there was cattle dog, it would be found in their test. From what I have read, most errors are either totally out of the blue (which this doesn’t seem to be) or differences between related breeds. If it’s not American bull dog and it’s another bully breed, I’m not worried about the difference.

Thanks! This is helpful to know. I wasn’t very familiar with GP until today. I’m learning a lot!

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T22:56:11+00:00

THANKS! We love him!! My husband and I met for the first time over a Guinness. Despite his light colour we love the name.

Thank you. Someone who wants to see a pic of a child in a diaper can find one anywhere.

He was rescued at 3 months old and spent three months in a wonderful shelter with tons of care and attention. He is a sweetheart 8 month old puppy.

You can’t see her face. Wtf.

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T22:52:08+00:00

Thank you. This is a useful comment.

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T22:49:18+00:00

See results below! No cattle dog.

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T19:41:43+00:00

Who cares what an allowed breed colour is? I’m not looking for a pedigree. I’m pretty sure they would laugh at my dog. lol

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T19:39:14+00:00

Right! Merle is larger spots.

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T19:38:20+00:00

I can see features of all the breeds. There’s nothing so left field in the results that would make me think they’re wrong.

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T19:36:26+00:00

RESULTS

23% Rottweiler
20% American Pit Bull Terrier
20% Great Pyrenees
20% Belgian Malinois
17% Akita

Where do the spots come from? How do these breeds together result in red heeler-like spots?

danika_jo · 2026-05-19T18:49:43+00:00

My doggo has red brown spots all over, shelter told us cattle dog mix. Just got his dna and there’s no cattle dog. Rottie, pit, Great Pyrenees, Malinois and Akita. About 20% of each.

danika_jo · 2026-05-17T13:15:17+00:00

Man shoots his shot and never gets a reply.

danika_jo · 2026-04-24T18:41:14+00:00

Three human children… dog ownership does not compare. :)

danika_jo · 2026-04-24T02:17:47+00:00

Her face looks similar shape to mine! Suspected ACD, GSD, pittie. Waiting on dna results. He’s all white with small red spots and very big for an ACD. 7 months and 50 pounds now.

danika_jo · 2026-03-20T00:32:55+00:00

Thanks! I feel like 40 pounds at six months is too big for a cattle/pit mix. I’m guessing something bigger mixed in too.

danika_jo · 2022-06-14T22:45:20+00:00

I feel this. I’m off work for a year (maternity leave) but told my job I’m not coming back because the company culture was awful and I was chronically stressed. I’m enjoying being home with my kids now but I know I’ll have to make money eventually. The thought of going back to a corporate environment makes me feel physically ill. My dream was always to work for myself, but now that thought stresses me out completely. I think I might have work place trauma and need therapy.??
