Puppies from backyard breeders and pet shops/puppy mills usually grow up to be pretty far from the breed standard.
If the test comes back mixed I think it's safe to assume she's not purebred......I think that if the test comes back mixed then the breeder committed fraud basically. I'm not saying I'd press charges but that's what it boils down to. If she is mixed and true I did buy her it's because the breeder lied to me and said her looks would change etc etc....I'm not returning the dog even if the test does come back 1/2 kangaroo so maybe this is a bunch of wasted time and effort but really, I would like to know. Is her hair really not going to grow???? This is becoming quite commical...I can't stop laughing at some of the responses...very funny, thanks!
