Whenever someone asks me what breed my dogs are, my typical response is, "Pit-mix probably, but I really don't know because they are rescue dogs." And the truth is, they are really just mutts. A couple of awesome mutts and I wouldn't have it any other way. Though I do hope they have some bully blood in them considering what a die-hard pit bull fan I am! But really, I am just curious more than anything.

Am I related to big foot? |
 |
Am I part sorceror? |
 |
Am I mixed with walrus? |
 |
Maybe Tigger is my cousin. |
So...I am super excited that I just ordered 2 Wisdom Panel DNA Tests! Both of my dogs were labeled "Pit Bull mix" at the shelter, but what the hell are they really??
 |
Kaya looked kind of bull terrier when she was a pup. |
 |
And Norman looked like...I don't know...a ball of cute? |
So here are my guesses(excluding APBT because wisdom panel does not test for it)...
Kaya: am staff, greyhound, whippet, catahoula, border collie, hound(of some sort), pointer, boxer, bull terrier
Kaya's main traits: athletic, lean, smart, agile, energetic, fast, sweet, confident, willful, impatient, determined, tolerant, ball-dog, lap-dog & cuddly
Norman: am staff, staffordshire bull terrier, lab, american bulldog, boxer, dalmation, pointer
Norman's main traits: sweet, tolerant, gentle, patient, playful, uncoordinated, sensitive, submissive, not so smart, cuddly, loving
I've always thought Kaya was a pit-greyhound mix and Norman was a pit-lab mix so we'll see! It seems like there is always one completely random breed thrown in. For example, Motlie looks like a total pit bull, only leaner. Her mix ended up being 50% am-staff(duh) and 25% gordon setter(wtf?!) But when I read the traits of each breed, they really matched up with her.
What are your guesses? Also, has anyone else tested their dogs...what were the results?

Even though I am curious about their breed, I think they're perfect no matter what:) |
