Kali's DNA

[MyBuddy]

November of last year I did the Mars Wisdom Panel on my little Kali.


Yes, @Tropicalbri's I am finally getting around to posting this! You asked me about it months ago! I would forget.......then remember.......then forget.....get busy....remember again........on and on. No excuses! lol Today is the day!

But wait! Before I post the interesting results.........how 'bout some of you take a gander at a guess at what mix of breeds Kali is made of! She's not purebred! There are about 4 different breeds in her! lol Some obvious. Some not so obvious. Let's play!

Here's several photos to get a 'look see' at her! I'll try and catch her conformation and personality.


This was her 'adoption' photo.


The first year...

Inquisitive and the investigator!
Looking for a mouse in my tack room.

Loves bananas (taken today)


A heart warmer...




And, Today, keeping squirrels at bay.



So what do you think? You ready to venture a guess? I'll leave this open for a few days before I post the written report.

Chihuahua is definitely one breed. I'll throw min pin in there too because she's like a small Dobie with the markings. Because of her energy levels...Jack Russel terrier. I hope I guessed at least 2 right!

Her puppy pic is insanely cute!!!

 

[Tropicalbri's]

JRT + Min Pin + Smooth Fox Terrier + Rat Terrier + Miniature Manchester terrier.

 

[LifeofRubie]

I'm going to agree with @Kaiser2016 and throw in... mini schnauzer because of her ears and just totally out of the blue!

Do you see that her tail is a blur in that picture? That is so her personality! The tail goes a mile a minute, all the time. I have never seen her unhappy to meet anyone! She thinks everyone loves her and she loves everyone. She's such a friendly dog. And she was like that from the get-go. I can still remember the day we went to get her. There were other people there picking up other puppies. When she was let loose, she ran around to everyone, greeting them, jumping up on them and then running to the next one. All the while her tail going a mile a minute. I remember her running up to Buddy and he looked down at her and her bubble of excitement and gave a little growl. LOL I don't think she even cared! She never stayed at one person long so she may not have even realized his distaste.

When we took her home, she was happy as can be. Content to lay on my lap, confident that she was going to the right home.

It's about time you posted this since I've been waiting too. LOL

I'm going to say Chihuahua, Boston Terrier, Min Pin and Ruskie (yes that is an AKC breed - Russian something).
Edit: I'm changing my 4th one from Ruskie to Beagle after hearing her bark in the random video thread.

The car ride home

"Are you my new mommy?"


I bought her a pink blanket, pink toy and pink leash.

Haha, I'm surprised no one bugged me!

Lol, Buddy does not look pleased!

 

[MyBuddy]

Lol, Buddy does not look pleased!

He really wasn't. That day. But he quickly got used to the idea. He just does not want to travel in the car. That's the look and pose that he will give every time he's in the car. The first time I took him down to Kentucky, I don't think he put his head down once! He slept with his head up.

Oooooo, can’t wait for the results!! We’ve waited patiently for this moment

I’m guessing Chihuahua + Rat terrier + Miniature Pinscher + JRT

 

[Panama]

Chihuahua, Pug, MinPin, Klee Kai

 

[Oh Little Oji]

Fun! Adorable! Silly! Tenacious!

Chihuahua, Jack Russel Terrier, Rat Terrier, Beagle.

Wow, our thinking is similar here!

 

[Viemarangelrock]

Ah, that’s weird! I was flipping between beagle and Miniature Pinscher. Settled on the Min Pin in the end

Yeah, Min Pin was on my list too.

I see someone guessed Boston Terrier. That's fairly smart just based on a numbers game, what with their relative popularity.

I threw in Beagle just because it seems they are claimed to be in a lot of mixes!

 

[MyBuddy]

There are 4 breeds listed in Kali's genetic background for three generations and one that is simply listed as "mixed breed". I'll show what they say constitutes the "mixed breed" later when I post the report.

But for now, all I'll say is that there are two breeds in her background that no one has guessed yet.

 

[Tropicalbri's]

I was thinking Corgi at one point as a possibility as well as Dachshund.

Nope.

I’m going to throw Schipperke out there just for fun lol
