Once I got a dna test for my dog and as it turns out, there can be many different breed traits smooshed together into one dog, not just two. The "one egg one sperm" thing doesn't affect dogs (or cats).
If a female mates five times during her heat, there is the potential for her pups to have some/all/any combination of the traits of those five fathers, plus whatever she was to begin with!
Although to me, all dogs are at least 3/4 Cute, and sometimes a full-breed Cute.
Wow, I had no idea!
I keep seeing more and more folks getting DNA tests for their mixed breeds and rescue dogs. What a fun idea! Would be awesome if the shelters could do it too, bet it would help a lot more pups get adopted <3
I agree! Although one of my dogs (who looks and acts very much like a Viszla) apparently has no Viszla in him. According to the test though, he does have a little Shih Tzu in there. HA! I tease him about that one.
