We Asked You to Guess: What Kind of Dog Is This?

We received tons of entries, but only a few had the correct guesses. Here are the results you’ve been waiting for!

Bit-O-Luv dog treats are made in the USA with USDA inspected meat free of any artificial flavors, colors, or byproducts.

Special thanks to Mars Veterinary, which donated the Wisdom Panel MX Mixed-Breed Dog DNA Tests used to detect the breeds for the dogs in this contest. For information, visit www.wisdompanel.com

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.

Pony Boy

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.

Pony boys ears are a combination of basset and pom.Thats what MIXED means. It amazes me how many KNOW so much more than the test results.As for the comments where "no maltese mated with a dalmation briard"...perhaps a large male maltese and a willing smaller dalmation. I have seen the results of such determined breeding.M neighbor had a chihuahua male breed her basset when the female lay down to accomodate him.Stranger things have happened.
