Ancestry.com Pet DNA test results day Ducky is:
- 53% Dalmatian
- 37% American Pit Bull
- 10% American Staffordshire Terrier
What do you think he is?
Here’s more info about him and some pictures! (For research… but also because he’s a cute boy!)
Always knew he was a Dalmatian Mix. I have a pure bred Dal too. I’m really surprised to see the other breeds, maybe to the point of skepticism. I don’t mind if he was a Pit or Staffy but I just don’t see it in him. Not in his looks or behavior.
He’s a natural hunting dog. Stalks his prey and waits for my mark before jumping. I never taught him that.
He’s always spying on the neighbors.
He doesn’t mind letting strangers or kids pet him. And he loves to cuddle with my nephew.
Or sit on my mom. He thinks he is funny.
And he loves to have chats but barking doesn’t come through pictures so well.
I think we just went in a circle. We did both agree we should do research and know what are our dogs tendency vs. not. And that pitbulls are strong AF. This strength makes any incidence potentially lethal just off strength alone. Essentially if you re-read the above we never disagreed on the above.
I know every dog has some health risks that can be inherited but I’ve consistently been asking for information about any behavioral risks as you claim there are. Well, I dug anyways because I really was curious. What I found :
So if anything, the only behavioral negative is perhaps likely to be more dog aggressive. So learning for me too! Anyways, we have been saying same thing. Difference is I asked for any negative behavioral tendencies that may come with the breed.
