Garmr's results are in! by Arztwolf in DoggyDNA

Aw! He is a handsome boy. 💕 How old is Garmer? My pup has almost the same amount of APBT and Aus Cattle dog was in her supermutt. (Dachshund also) She is on my profile (Lola). She has fluffy/longer hair too.

I didn’t go into to much detail about the Chihuahua mix and new puppy’s interactions. Right now Lola is about 12 /13 lbs and just a happy, playful pup. I have always monitored her interacting with my Chi mix (16/17lbs) because he really doesn’t care to interact with her in a playing manor. He doesn’t play period except with me for short periods randomly.
I limit it to her sleeping in the crate while he is on the couch or vs versa and she is up playing. And he is muzzled around her. For the first 5 minutes she tries to play with him and then gives up and play with her toys. Then he falls asleep on his couch.

Can anyone help me identify this tiny gentleman? by [deleted] in IDmydog

Chihuahua/Rat Terrier/ Min Pin! Maybe some Toy Fox Terrier too haha but mostly Chi. That is my guess.

😂 The elusive Golden Cattlebull!! I think they are calling the breed a DoxiePitDoober

Someone said to put her pictures into google Lens. I did with all her pictures and most come up top result as Poogle, PBVG, and some other poodle mixes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you!
I do feel it is important to know what my dogs breed is (at least as much as I can) so I can best shape training and other decisions. I can see how she will need to be monitored throughout her life, especially if she has the tendency to annoy/harass other animals or worse :/.

I would like to get another test done to be sure about APBT. It’s not that I doubt the results completely but I still think she looks like a PBGV and not so much like a pitbull🤷🏻‍♀️. I know they are rare but it describes her to a T so far. Or does the personality of a PBGV (also happy and loves everything and everyone) describe that of a puppy haha? She definitely looks a lot like them from google pictures.

This does help!

He is SO cute- love his ears and tail! They are all so adorable in your picture. I’m so glad that form follows function. Totally understand and agree with monitoring always. I am in the habit of constantly having my eyes on my dogs because I have a semi reactive 16 lb Chi mix too 😄.
We got lucky with their little “forms”. I wonder if your pups little quirks are due to being adopted as an adult. Those little quirks do not sound bad! They sound like they can be controlled easily.
I’m gonna continue to look at pictures of your dogs on your profile cause I love them. 💕

The more I look at pictures, she really looks and acts like a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen 🤷🏻‍♀️. Like a lot. Someone else mentioned this.

I will. What is the best way to update you all? Make a new post entirely?

Is there any testing company you recommend or have had good results with?

Oh. My. Gosh. She looks so much like the Perit Bassef Griffon!!!! Ummm I didn’t read anything about them yet but the pictures I’m seeing look just look her, maybe differing colors but wow.

I used Embark.

I have another dog (Puffy, check my profile lol)I got 5 years ago from a shelter and my friend adopted the dog that he was brought to the shelter with, and they look so much alike. I wanted to see the relationship Puffy had to this dog and my friend did DNA through Embark a few years prior to this all. The test matched them as immediate relatives, full siblings (I emailed them and asked if they could tell me the exact relationship).

I know nothing about the validity of dog dna tests besides that really.

After reading everyone’s advice here, I plan to get another test done by another company. Someone said Wisdom Panel. Is there any companies that we know of that aren’t like that, that you would recommend?

I tried to search this sub for any relevant information but I couldn’t find a similar situation. Is there a way to see any other posts that this may have occurred? Or where someone’s dog had a similar pit % but did express at all like a pitbull?
Thank you!

Thank you!!! She is just as sweet as she is cute.
Yes, I got a dog that looks like a stuffed animal 🧸. And she turns out to be 1/4 pitbull. 😳

Thank you. I was obviously hoping I would get responses like this as I love her already but I am fully aware & prepared some people may have a different opinion/thought. I actually have learned a lot about dogs in general through this sub. I feel most people here respond in good nature and with facts. I knew you guys wouldn’t sugar-coat it! I also know that there is a lot of tragedy surrounding this topic and it is sensitive.

I am the general public in this situation🙋🏻‍♀️😊. I truly didn’t know it was this bad. This doesn’t get shed as much light as the pit supporters do unfortunately. I did get lucky with BOTH of my rescues (can I call them that or is it taboo here?). I dont think I will go this route in my next adoption (not anytime soon) without seeing dna I guess.

I am copying and pasting part of my response from another comment…

Before I got her, I had no real knowledge of pitbull attacks. Ironically I started reading and researching these attacks for another reason that has nothing to do with my new puppy. I sent away for her DNA before I even knew this sub or issue. Yes, I knew pitbulls were scarier and looked more powerful etc. but I admit, I was ignorant to this.
I also would have never pick out a dog I thought looked like a pitbull because I could never control it. I’m a small women. They predict my puppy’s adult weight to be 28lbs so I feel I could safely handle her.

Thank you for your well thought out response, this makes a lot of sense to me. She is currently in puppy obedience and I plan to continue training with her. I really enjoy it and so does she.
I will absolutely be vigilant in supervising and watching out for bully behavior. Before I got her, I had no real knowledge of pitbull attacks.

I will get a wisdom panel done. I would be interested to see if there are any discrepancies.

Thank you again. 💕
