As previously mentioned we got the results of Copley's DNA test. Here are the results-
At first glance these results seem a little crazy. It gets even crazier when you realize the Doberman part of the mixed breed ancestry is only 2% away from the threshold that would have caused the report to say he had a purebred doberman grandparent!
But lets think about this for a second. We know Copley is a long nosed breed of dog crossed with a short faced breed from his severe under-bite. Based on our observation of other "puggles" we had determined he was probably only 25% short faced dog. So 25% pekingese, I can handle that.
Next lets look at the chihuahua part. We always comment that he has the fur of a "desert dog" plus he does have tiny, tiny feet for his size.
Now for the mixed breed that is mostly doberman. He does have a deep chest like a dobe and something would have to be thrown into this mix to give him a little size boost. At 22lbs and lean he is over twice the size of a normal chihuahua or pekingese.
So what do you think? Are these pictures of a Chihuahua/Pekingese/Doberman?
