Do you mind if I ask where you got this picture? It looks identical to my dog and I've always wondered his breed!

I took this picture of my dog, Bootsy, yesterday. According to the DNA test I had done, he’s roughly 1/2 American pit bull terrier, 1/4 American Staffordshire terrier, 1/8 German short haired pointer and the rest super mutt (a bunch of other breeds that can’t be determined).

Was it expensive, the test? I always wondered what is my dog's ancestry.

It was $159, but that includes breed/ancestry as well as a health report, which looks for genetic markers of various health traits. You can also find siblings/family members of your dog if they have also done the test. I connected with 3 of my dog’s siblings owners. It’s almost exactly like 23 and me, but for dogs, and called Embark.

Same, looks just like my puppy, we think she’s a patterdale terrier mix.

You are the proud owner of a GBD. Generic Black Dog. It's sort of a default option they rotate back to when people aren't trying to fuck with them and turn them into pugs and suchlike.

Best dog for our family.

Yours,

A fellow GBD owner

My dog looks almost identical.

He’s 1/4 each:

  • Catahoula
  • Great Dane
  • Irish Wolfhound
  • Bull Arab (probably the most dominant breed in him).

Ha…he does, but your dog looks bigger. My dog is only about 48 pounds. Handsome boy you’ve got there.

Ours is IDENTICAL. Even has the exact same white pattern on her paws. We think she’s a greyador though, a mix of a greyhound and a labrador. She definitely does run like a greyhound.
