How cute! If you want to know your dog's heritage, you can purchase a DNA pack at most pet stores. I got Marley's at the end-cap at Pet Smart for $25 because the box had been crushed. It's a spit test --no blood, although I did drop one of the swabs on the floor and was afraid he would come back 1/2 Berber carpet! I ended up talking to the lady at the testing agency about Marley's test. Without knowing anything about him other than he was male and about 2 years old, she told me he was Yorkshire Terrier -- one of the cleanest screens she had seen for Yorkie! He is a rescue -- I have no info on his heritage, but it was nice to have them validate his breed. I have a second Yorkie who's lineage is known... and people recognize my rescue as a Yorkie and then say, "what is your little guy?" He's tiny, with a squash face. When I first got him, he looked more like a monkey than a Yorkie. Go figure.... |
