| DNA Test Back For My Furkid Vivi - Results a Little Surprising :) Last summer I asked for a DNA test for my only birthday present. (For Vivi, our gal who came off the streets of Covington, Ky., and we could not find her owner.) Vivi.jpg Anyway, I thought she would have a little Chihuahua in her mix, so I was a little surprised by the DNA results. Vivi's DNA Certificate.jpg Her DNA says she is part Miniature Pinscher (no surprise), with no Chihuahua, and even has some Australian Terrier (Aussie) in the mix. (Now that surprised me. ) From reading threads on YT, I do realize these tests can be unreliable, but we did it for fun. Whatever her mix, she is much loved. Thanks for checking out this thread on my sweet girl.

| I'm a little surprised the test didn't show any Chi, too. Whatever her DNA, she's sure a pretty little girl. I just love those warm brown eyes! You can tell she's happy in her home with you.

| I saw the kits at Petco's website. I think they were about $60. |

| Well, thank you... that is very sweet. We just love her to pieces. She was so dirty and skinny, when she was found. Now she has plumped-up and gets regular grooming.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | What a cutie. I can now see miniature pinscher in her face and I think the tail. Aussie is a surprise.

| Regardless of her mix she is one adorable little girl. My husband had a dog growing up that looked exactly like your baby we all assumed she was a chi mix also go figure..

| Vivi is beautiful. She looks so happy. Love the pics where Vivi and Piccolo are side by side. They look as if they have grown up together. So comfortable with one another. Many blessings to you for giving this lovely little girl a forever home. ~Joanne~

| Vivi Lisa, Vivi is the sweetest little girl. I'm so happy everything worked out so well between her and Piccolo. You are a very special person to reach out to make a home for her and also keep a place in your heart for her too. It doesn't matter what she is, she is precious!
