Candi’s DNA Results

As a Christmas present, my sister got Brian and I a DNA test for Candi. The test is available at Canine Heritage.com. It tells what kind of breed(s) make up your dog.

The results came back the other day and Candi turns out to have some Dachshund, Chow Chow, and German Shepherd in her. She has no primary or secondary breeds. She’s more than likely a very mixed dog.

Doing some research into the breeds they found (we all thought she was at least some Beagle, by the way), I compiled a list of traits from the three dogs they found in her.

Dachshund

• Chases things with determination
• Devotion & loyalty to owners
• Prone to separation anxiety
• Show above average intelligence
• Clever, lively, & courageous
• Challenges larger dogs
• Does not like unfamiliar people, may growl & bark

Chow Chow

• Extremely loyal
• Curly tail
• Prefer to watch for strangers by entrance

German Shepherd

• Sheds all year long
• Very smart
• Willingness to learn
• Loyal nature & bond well
• Over protective of family & territory
• Probably gets the bird on her head & colors

She’s just a puppy!
