For my birthday my parents gave me a dog dna test for our (their) dog Riley! They swabbed him a few weeks ago and the results are in! Take a look at the photos and let me know what you think he is View the galleryThese pictures are all pretty old but they probably give a more accurate idea of what he looked like in his prime. My parents got him from a shelter 6 years ago, and although I've never lived with him, I love him sooo much! He is so calm and gentle and sensitive. I highly recommend shelter dogs! He is about 60 lbs (plus a little extra...), caramel color with white tips and chest. He is pretty lazy but he can still get the puppy crazies/zoomies. He does not know how to retrieve or fetch but that could be more to neglect that breeding. There is one breed that was pretty surprising to me, so throw something wild in there I'll reveal the results after there's a few guesses!

Think he may be a Labrador cross Collie? Certainly Labrador based doggy looking at his face.

Definitely a lot of Lab but he also looks really big... Great Dane in there too?
He's gorgeous!

I'd guess either lab or golden, maybe hound, the white stripe makesme think nova Scotia duck toller.
Side note, if I can find away to share a photo I'll have to do this too. I got a DNA test for my dog for Christmas too.

Yeah, I'd guess mostly Golden or yellow Lab...his face especially reminds me of my brother's almost-year-old Golden/Bernese Mountain Dog pup (feels weird to call such a huge dog a puppy!) The coloring brings the NSDTR to mind, and there could always be some other harder-to-guess breed(s) in those profiles. Beagle, perhaps, if it's one of the common contributors.

I think everyone is partly right, because I think everyone said lab! But no one guessed Newfie or Australian Shepherd! He is also part golden retriever, herding, and terrier. I'll take Wisdom Panel at its word, but I don't really see it! My guess was red heeler and lab.

Jenna, any good idea how to share a photo? I have photobucket but I'm not sure I can still log in. Plus it's made a ton of changes and might not share photos like it used to.

Updated my profile pic to a better picture ofmy dog. A few details about him. He's about knee high on me, 50 pounds, high energy, super smart, hates small furries, loves people, picky with dogs, loves food, curly tail, thick hair but not a double coat and we shave him in the summer.

Hmm I’m gonna say schnauzer and border collie? Maybe poodle or husky? You’ve got a tough one!

He looks predominantly terrier...maybe Schnauzer, Jack Russell, fox terrier, something like that? Could also be some spaniel or retriever or hound, perhaps even a dash of Poodle in there...that is a bit of a toughie! Such a cutie though!

My DNA kit wasn't a wisdom panel so I feel like it's less specific (it gives ranges). My guess was schnauzer, lab, collie. Turns out Rory is 10-19% West Highland White Terrier, 10-19% Miniature Poodle, 10-19% Chow Chow, 20-36% Boston Terrier, and 37-74% Mixed Breed Unknown (when you click on the description of mixed breed it actually says "Super Mutt", lol).
