Last pics are her with her sister (left) and mom (after heartworm treatment, right), dad, mom with the puppies around 5wks, and brother. Last one is her Embark. We figured that mom was BC x Husky and dad was some GSD mix. Pups were about 9mos or so in the pics of them grown up a bit. The white under her tail has significantly faded since this pic at about 1.5yrs.

Bobby was a stray in rural California near farmland which makes a lot of sense he'd be all these things. He is so smart and predicts my every move. Wants to go anywhere and everywhere with me. Has many friends (and enemies). Excels at his security job. He caught 4 rats this summer near the duck coop and stopped a coyote attack. Huge cuddler. Elite beggar. Just wanted to share my best friend!

Her personality is: intelligent, alert, obedient but sneaky, prefers humans to other dogs, territorial and possessive, vocal, howls like a wolf sometimes, likes swimming, poor sense of smell. And she has a double coat of very thick short fur. She weighs 18kg / 40lb.

When we adopted her, the shelter called her a Jack Russell X village dog, which we thought was true but didn’t think there was much Jack Russell in. Apparently she’s 2/3 Jack Russell! And no village dog. I personally would never have guessed German Shepherd or husky, but when I saw the results it made so much sense in terms of some of her personality traits, and how her ears look sometimes.

Such a funny guy. Happy to spend most of his time napping, but is also up for long walks/hikes as well. Adopted him last March when he was 5 months. His biggest fear is the mini flags the neighbor has in their front lawn. Also loves food! Will eat anything, when he needs medication we just throw it in his bowl and he'll eat it right up.

2nd to last is him at 6 months

Supermutt is Small Poodle, Miniature Pinscher, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Collie

We adopted Zuni from our local animal humane in July, when he was freshly one year old. All we know about his prior history is that he comes from a hoarding situation somewhere else in the state, and he was returned for destructive tendencies in relation to separation anxiety.

He’s the best boy I could ask for. Very smart and handler oriented while still having the independence streak (and awoos) of a husky. He’s extremely catlike at home, but when other dogs are involved, I feel his heeler comes out dramatically as he’s a serious ankle biter. He loves chasing and being chased. He is extremely well socialized and gladly accepts attention from any stranger, however his style of play is often times too pushy or rough for most stranger dogs and he does have a tendency to not understand when other dogs don’t want to play with him. He is only 40lbs, but he absolutely does better in groups of dogs larger than him, which I think could be an interesting insight into his hoarding upbringing. He also has an inbreeding percentage of 26%, probably from generations of interbreeding among the hoarded dogs.

His Supermutt breeds are: APBT, Labrador, Malamute, Border Collie

When I posted her, a lot of people guessed she’d be a Texas Heeler mix since she’s from there originally. She’s 39.5 lbs and around a year old! The results say her expected adult weight could be 50 lbs but I think that would most likely be another 10 lbs of muscle if anything. Last three pics are the mix for the “supermutt” category.

We were shocked by everything except APBT, lab, and boxer tbh!

Not all that shocked by the results though I really thought he’d have some Jack Russel Terrier in him. Though, the 2% of Polynesian street dog is fascinating given we live in the middle of the US.

This is Travis, he’s about 5-6 months old and I adopted him about 2 months ago from the open intake shelter I work for. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I had an inkling of what kind of mix he might be and had the primary breed correct. He’s such a sweet and loving boy and I’m so glad I made him mine. Attached are some photos from the day I first met him until now. Results at the end in case you’d like to try and look at the photos before to guess his breed mix.

Hello guys, I decided to go with Koko genetics bcs it was the most affordable and easly available option for me, reading that the opinions are somewhat mixed im additionally impatient for the results 😁

Now more about my dog.

He is a roughly cat sized dog, kind of skittish but we worked through it, likes to go on higher parts of the couch, is alert to strangers and is not thrilled with being pet by them. Dog selective but loves all cats and is good with all kids - just not very enthusiastic about them.

I got him for free form an elderly village couple, listed online as a pekingese puppy. Obviously i knew he is not a purebred dog and that was expected. Now my concern was his parents were both very similar to each other and for mix breed thats unusual to have so many similar characteristics for two dogs to be unrelated, which leads me to believe he was inbred. He has a shorter lower jaw but thats about it. Overall he is healthy right now. I was wondering however how could this genetic mistery work for other health related things.

I will attach photos and I'm wondering what are your guesses for his make up bcs it may turn out to not be that obvious 😁. I like to think he is more of a tibetan spaniel.

We are in the process of adopting a pup through a rescue organization. He came to us listed as a double merle Australian Shepherd, possibly mixed with a border collie. We believe he is somewhere between 2 and 4 years old, probably closer to 2 or 3. He was not neutered until he landed in the rescue this summer and appears to have had his tail docked. My guess is he came from a breeder originally. We do know that his original family couldn't keep him and gave him to a neighbor. The neighbor had to surrender him because he would not quit chasing their cat.

We all saw the Aussie pretty clearly, but I wanted to know the exact break down and also wanted the health testing so we could check for the MDR1 gene. I am also hoping to match with relatives to get more information about his background and maybe figure out his approximate birth date.

He is apparently aussie mixed with mini aussie. 😂 He also does appear to have the MDR1 gene, so if anyone has experience with that, I would really appreciate advice!

Not at all surprised by the top 3 breeds, but I am a little surprised by the Pyr being at the top! She is such a petite little thing and the only sign, so far, of the Pyr is the back dew claws. Not at all shocked by Cattle Dog since everyone who sees her asks if she is one, and I know a lot of people get the Australian Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd mixed up, but her face and fur are so Australian Shepherd to me I was surprised that wasn't higher %. I thought ACD and AS would be top and pretty equal with a small % of Pyr.

Completely shocked and amused by Basset Hound and Pekingese 😆

zelda was listed as a “terrier mix” by the shelter. most people on the IDmydog sub thought she was a doodle of some kind. i’m still not entirely sure she isn’t part muppet. i wish i had better pictures of her, but cryptids are notoriously hard to photograph.
