Test Results
Significant Breed: Dalmatian
Intermediate Breeds: Briard and Maltese
The Editors Say: We see Guinness’ black-and-white coloring and short, smooth coat coming from the Dal, while the Maltese gives him his small size.
Congratulations to Wendy Jordan, who won the drawing of correct entries for Guinness. She wins $50 worth of goodies from Bit-O-Luv dog treats.

Test Results
Significant Breed: None
Intermediate Breeds: Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky
Minor Breed: Collie
The Editors Say: We’ll admit, Oliver had us all stumped! The lack of a significant breed probably means he’s a multi-generational mutt. We think his rough coat is reminiscent of the Collie, but with more of a Malamute or Husky’s length to it.
Congratulations to Troy and Jennifer Valleen, who were the only ones to guess two of three breeds correctly for Oliver. Bit-O-Luv is sending them $50 worth of dog goodies.

Test Results
Significant Breed: Pomeranian
Intermediate Breeds: Pug and Basset Hound
The Editors Say: We think Pony Boy’s coat coloring comes from the Pom. But his short fur, body size, and stature are a mix of Pug and Basset.
Congratulations to Kathy Anastor, who won the drawing of correct entries for Pony Boy. She will receive $50 worth of treats courtesy of Bit-O-Luv.
