So I bought the doggie DNA kit for Marvin. When i got him, i was told he was full blood lab, which i had a pretty good idea he wasnt.
The more time that goes by, the more i would wonder what the heck he is exactly.
Just got the DNA results in, and theres no labrador at all, according to the DNA. Im pretty sure we did everything correct while getting the sample..
Idk.. I thought he was, no doubt, majority lab, but now im not sure of anything in the world.
(it doesnt really matter what he is to me, ill love em all the same. Its just kinda fun trying to figure it out)
According to the DNA results..."Marvin is an American Staffordshire Terrier, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel Mix"
I looked up pictures of american staffordshire terrier, and i guess i can see that in him. but the cocker spaniel, i just dont see it lol...
Would really like to hear what you guys think.


Here's a recent pic. We were having a serious talk about shredding tp rolls.

Lab/retriever face and pit shaped body. Nice looking dog. I've noticed his chest has a very similar marking to my dogs. Which looks like a prancing unicorn!!

What an amazing contrast in weather we have! @elkamino i saw people sunbathing on the beach! :)
I was just laughing at the same thing... Our dogs have very different lives but seem well-loved and happy!:)

Budsy's got a ridiculously thin coat for Alaska, we've only had him for 4 months (all winter) and we've always kept an eye on his temp when we're outside. We like to spend time in the mountains and when we're out his ears are always hot or warm so I think he's doing fine. Thought about sewing him one of those goofy dog jackets but thought better of it after he stayed warm on a ski trip where it was windy and subzero (-20C) all day! Good boy...

Dogs can be tough! Mines a pussy and starts shivering when we go out in winter. Especially of we stop somewhere. If he's moving its ok though. Better to have short haired dogs here, mountains are for huskies, not Mediterranean Barcelona. People have the wrong dogs here.

That's so cool to see. Is that your pic?! The cat seems very casual for you being so close! :shock:

What happened after the pic? Got more?
oh man, it's just a google image, my bad, so i can't say.
my actual cat is a little less ferocious.

Great Alaskan hiking pictures, beautiful region. my buddy lives in a northern climate and has a dog w a light coat as well. he found him a nice dog-jacket, seems to help and the dog is ok w it. here's a pic of my friend for real
