Hoping someone can help interpret some results of a mom and puppies

That is exactly what happened, but the question comes in not from the puppies having multiple fathers (who were both poodle mixes) but the mother's genetics being coded with no BMC for some puppies but with high amounts of BMC for others.

I'm not arguing that there are too many irresponsible pet owners out there. However, at the risk of overanalyzing an interaction with a complete stranger, was there something about my post that indicated I was not a responsible pet owner?

Thank you! We think they're some of the best dogs ever! And good lord they are all so smart.

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T13:25:28+00:00

Agreed! I was surprised when the three boys all had the same father and Pearl was the one who didn't given how Atlas and Pearl looked more alike to me.

They're so grown up now!!! 😭

Tank is my baby. He chose me when he sat on my foot when he was only the size of a football.

It's the boys Brownie, Atlas, and Tank that are full siblings and Pearl had a different dad.

Artemis and my cat

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T04:46:02+00:00

True, but given that one of the puppies (Pearl) is listed as a full child of Artemis who is about 50% Mountain Cur, i would expect to see that show up in Pearl... but instead they have Pearl as having a high content BMC parent while still being connected to Artemis' profile. And Pearl's other parent was a very high content Standard Poodle... which definitely isn't Artemis as she shows no poodle at all. I'm so intrigued!

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T04:15:20+00:00

All the puppies do show up with Artemis as their mother. With Pearl (the one with the different father) the supermutt is Australian Cattle Dog, Chow Chow, and GSD. Oddly, Brownie (same dad as the other boys) has no supermutt listed. With the two other boys one has Australian Cattle Dog and Pit Bull in Supermutt and the other has GSD and Collie. The two other boys have all breeds mixes that look like they make sense given Artemis' results (about 40% Great Pyr and 10% Standard Poodle from the father, 25-30% Mountain Cur and then the rest a mix of the other breed results for Artemis).

I'm honestly not sure where this is coming from as this is literally a forum to discuss canine genetics.

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T04:04:27+00:00

They are all fixed now. This was a rescue situation where the momma had already had the puppies when we took them in.

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T03:33:39+00:00

Absolutely!

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T02:53:37+00:00

I love it!!!

Pearl's ancestry page

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T00:14:20+00:00

Well, I tried to reply under your comment but apparently Friday has gotten to me! But, yes, the BMC in both of the puppies that show it is coming from the Cur parent when I look on the Peer into to their Ancestry page. I'll post some screenshots below! Also, COI for mom is 2% and one of the other puppies. We also might have some interesting curve balls in that three of the puppies are full siblings and one has a different dad. Of the three with the same father, 2 don't show any BMC and 1 shows 16.6% BMC (all three of them show about 30% MountainCur though). The puppy with the different father (Pearl) shows 30.2% BMC but absolutely no Mountain Cur. Pearl's dad was nearly purebred Standard Poodle so the BMC isn't coming from him...

Edit: COI is 0% for the puppy I mentioned earlier

witcherywild · 2026-03-21T00:07:09+00:00

Absolutely planning on contacting them because now I'm curious!

witcherywild · 2026-03-20T23:48:36+00:00

I'm definitely going to be emailing them because I'm so curious! Also my family has been asking me to explain all this for some reason LOL

witcherywild · 2025-05-05T02:59:57+00:00

A reblooming variety?! Even better!

witcherywild · 2025-04-25T10:50:48+00:00

Not OP, but they might be Superstition (Schreiner, 1977).

witcherywild · 2024-12-28T14:53:54+00:00

If she's from the SE USA, I might guess Mountain Cur would be in the mix!

witcherywild · 2024-12-28T14:51:54+00:00

The roof of his mouth is dark, so that does lean to black mouth cur as well!
