Kalevi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is there a test that can figure out the x origins? I'm curious what mine is - so far got "a terrier of some sort", "cairn terrier", "a bit of westie in him". OH likes to think that he's a purebreed Cairn. I don't think so because he's too big for a Cairn (11kg). There is no accurate test. I would call your dog a terrier cross, because he looks like a terrier. There could be a number of breeds in there. I beleive that Gen Tec have a test called Bitza http://www.animalnetwork.com.au/bitsa/ The site says: BITSA uses advanced DNA technology to identify the breed/s of your dog. A simple cheek swab from inside your dog's mouth enables the collection of cells for DNA extraction. Your dog's DNA is then referenced against our extensive list of breed signatures, giving your dog its unique breed make-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chran Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 they look very much like your boy though a lot hairier He's 8 years old and was a stray so he may have had plenty back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisovar Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can't see any whippet, see a brindle and white mutt.Could be anything. mutt is a bit harsh for this face heinz57 and cross mix sounds a little nicer haha i deffinately see koolie in her, just her behaviour alerts me to an actieve breed. anyway her name is Tess and she is incredibly smart He is a mutt, nothing at all wrong with being a mutt, I have owned several. It is what he is, a mixed breed of unknown origin it is not a slur it is a description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chran Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It's a deal Cool I like Tess' eyes & her tongue looks too big for that mouth The Bitsa test looks like a scam to me - it's well packaged but too generic for me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyla Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My first thoughts were koolie and bull terrier. Very cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fainty_girl Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Tess is a cutie! How old would she be roughly? She reminds me a bit of my dog Tilly . Tilly was a stray so i'm not sure what type of X-breed she is for sure either, the picture below is of Tilly at 8 months, a couple of weeks after I adopted her.

BMAK Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 she is about 10-12 weeks i think but who knows ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i'm going to say definitely staffy cross. possibly even a little husky as the blue eye is very common in husky breeds, especially seeing it is only the one eye! my ideas; my main thought was border collie cross staffy ? * short coated border collie (blue eye and over all look) * staffy (brindle and belly) * whippet (brindle, long face and legs) * koolie (blue eye / pigmented nose)) * cattle ? ... your ideas?

Perry's Mum Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I think she definitely has some koolie in her - not just the face and eyes and nose but also the very long tongue - people often say that Perry y koolie has the longest tongue they have ever seen on a dog.
