I found out what Rudy is...

[Lolo76]

he is officially a MUTT! I got his DNA test results yesterday, and they said he's an "unidentified breed" - which either means that he's too many breeds, aka 100% mutt, or a breed they can't test for yet. As I mentioned in my other thread, they can't test for Cattle Dog or Kelpie, so it's possible he is one (or both) of those. Oh well, I tried! I always knew Rudy was one of a kind, and now I have proof.

Do you mind telling who did it and how much ??? They want Maggie May done !

 

[smkie]

Sounds like the best kind of dog to me!

 

[lizzybeth727]

I've always thought those DNA tests were kind of silly anyway. My dog is my dog, who cares what breed she is??

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Be glad the results came back as unidentifiable instead of sending you some asinine list of breeds that your dog is completely incapable of being... like Buddy's. lol

I am STILL laughing over that one . . . Buddy, the Short-Haired Mammoth Maltese . . . . :rofl1:

Dorks.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

The second batch of results were equally as humorous, if I recall correctly, lol.

 

[Renee750il]

I think I missed those! What was he that time?

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Lol... Well, the first results said; Maltese, Boton Terriers, Labrador Retriever, West Highland White Terrier.

The second results said...Maltese, Dalmatian, Brittany Spaniel, Labrador Retreiever, Pekingese.

:rofl1::rofl1::rofl1:

I don't care, I just thought it would be fun to find out... people are always asking what breed he is, and it might be nice to have an answer. But I love him no matter what his heritage is, so I am fine with calling him a mutt!

I went through this company: https://www.canineheritage.com/

The test costs $120, but I only paid about $75, since they upgraded me from the original test (which only had 39 breeds to test for). There are other companies that have more breeds, but I think they're a little more expensive. Maybe I should have tried one of those, though...

That's the spirit!

 

[bubbatd]

Thanks !! I thought that some one here paid $35 ...........

 

[lizzybeth727]

$120? To find out that your dog is a mutt?

I think I'd rather just donate the money to a shelter and invent a breed to tell people he is.

 

[Backward_Cinderella]

Sounds like Doom...
110% pure bred MUTT.

 

[drmom777]

I just don't get the humor in Buddy's results. I look at him and I see Maltese---I don't know what YOUR problem is......

 

[Dekka]

lol Drmom

Just another example of how the DNA tests don't work.

Grammy there is no way it can be done for 35 unless the company is out to loose money.

I've donated much more than $120 to shelters over the years, thanks. It was just for fun, and like I said, I only actually paid $75 - which is about what I spend at the pet store every week or two.

 

[Bunny82]

Hmm $75 to tell someone that their dog is a mutt?

I need to get in on this. Anyone want to send me $75 to tell them their dog is a mutt?

 

[Lolo76]

You know, there's no need to be rude about it everyone. Just something I did for curiosity's sake, and I'm sure others have spent money on things I would consider silly... but I certainly wouldn't tease them for it. Besides, it's not like I went broke over $75, LOL.
