Mixed-breed dog DNA test

by Lindsay Stordahl on February 4, 2013 · 28 comments

What kind of mutt is Ace?

My dog Ace received his mixed-breed dog DNA test results last week.

Can you guess his breeds?

Leave a comment on this post or on That Mutt’s Facebook page by 8 a.m. CST tomorrow (Tuesday) for your chance to win a $25 PetSmart e-gift certificate. Closest guesser wins!

And, just to be fair, I haven’t looked at the results yet, either! So don’t expect any hints from me!

The mixed-breed DNA test results and the contest winner will be announced tomorrow, right here on ThatMutt.com!

What the heck is he?

Note: We did not receive a free mixed-breed DNA test from any company for any reason. However, Ace did receive the test as a Christmas gift. Thank you, Tawna! Also, PetSmart did not donate the $25 gift certificate.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he has some pittie in him.

I agree. Black lab and Great Dane. Maybe some Boxer.

Good guess! I didn’t really consider boxer, but I could see that!

I think he’s Great Dane/ black lab. Doesn’t take a DNA test to know he’s stinkin’ cute though! Can’t wait to find out!

Lab and Basset. :)

LOVE all the pictures you posted! I’m going to guess lab/pointer/hound. What are your guesses, Lindsay? :)

Lindsay Stordahl February 4, 2013 at 1:59 pm

I wasn’t sure if I should say what my guess is, but since you asked I guess I will! My guess is 50 percent Lab, 25 percent dane and the rest Coonhound/German shorthaired pointer.

I like all the guesses so far!

How can you not read the results….I’d be bursting to open the envelope :+)

I think Great Dane/Border Collie/German Short haired pointer mix plus some Labrador. He is lovely!

I just don’t think I’d be able to keep my mouth shut! :) I would ruin the surprise!

Black lab, Great Dane !

We had our dog’s DNA tested for Christmas last year. The results came back so surprising… we thought our dog for sure was a german shepherd/corgie mix and she came back Basset Hound and Siberian Huskie! (And something else, I forget!)

For your dog I am going to guess: Greyhound/Coonhound, Great Dane and Weimaraner!

I’d like to be original but I see Black Lab and Great Dane like everyone else! My friend just rescued a dog who is that exact mix and they look so much alike! He sure is cute, love the paws pic:)

I did Kaya & Norman’s DNA tests a little while ago. It was a lot of fun:)

I’ll have to check your blog to see if you wrote about their results.

Dawn February 5, 2013 at 11:00 am

I am going to say definitely Great Dane… at least half. The rest, Lab and ???

Reply

samantha February 7, 2013 at 2:26 pm

What a CUTIE!!!!! I will say Border collie, great dane and Flat coat retriever and blood hound!! ;)

Reply

Sia February 18, 2013 at 5:10 pm

I’m sure there’s some lab in that dog and some of the bigger breeds. The way his mouth is though… notice how he looks like he’s laughing in some of those pics? Collie trait, through and through.

So, I reckon, Lab/Collie/Giant breed
