We know she's a BIG part shih tzu because she does have a lot of characteristics of a tzu, but just don't think she is THAT much of one. Her mom is about 13 lbs, she is about 20 lbs lol. Of course as a Yorkie breeder I am fully aware that puppies can turn out quite different from their parents, so it's very possible you are right. 
The other 10% was undetermined...they couldn't say what else was in there so I don't know what that means. 
Also, I made a mistake...it wasn't the wisdom panel...it was this: Amazon.com: BioPet DNA Breed Identification Kit: Home & Garden. Maybe we should do a real wisdom panel to see if that makes a difference? |
That is weird they cannot determine the other 10%.. I thought they could tell every breed in a dog..hmm false advertisement..LOL
Well the pictured of her shaved I could see her features even better and that was mainly how I could tell.. Her leg shape, chest, and her long body. Shih tzu's also have silky soft long coats... But she is adorable. I especially like her wet look
Also, shih tzu's can easily get up to 20 pounds. AKC is between 9 and 16 pounds. But I have seen them larger. And whatever that 10% is, is obviously throwing the larger size. She could very well be mixed with terrier, lots of terrier breeds out there.
