Porch Boy's Ancestry

I bought a DNA test to determine what percentage of Porch Boy and Mr. Trip was Chihuahua and what the rest of the "mix" might be. Got Porch Boy's results first and, surprisingly, he hasn't a trace of Chihuahua DNA! In fact, he's mostly Miniature Pinscher! Here's a link to find out more about this breed.

I think Mr. Trip looks a lot more like a Min-Pin than Porch Boy does. Maybe his results will show he has a level 1 (at least 75%) DNA from this breed. As you can see in this certificate of P Boy's ancestry, he qualifies as a mutt. Just click on the certificate to see the whole thing.



Having no level higher than 2 (37%-74%) of any one breed, most of his DNA is in the level 4 range (10%-19%) and who would ever have believed he came from such large dogs! Australian Shepherd? Border Collie? and what's up with him being part Poodle????? The level 4 Greyhound could be because the Min-Pin was originally a cross between a German Pinscher and an Italian Greyhound. They did that to make them faster at catching rats, which is what they were originally bred to do.

Will post Mr. Trip's results when they come in.
