LuLu the wonder mutt is a mystery no more! We have always known she is at least part Lab; in profile, she looks like a lab… and she likes to spend some time every day playing ball, no matter the weather conditions.
We suspected there might be some border collie, given her white accents. I thought that she might have some terrier going on there because of her appearance head on (also, in this region, it is unusual for a pound puppy of unknown origins to not be at least part pit bull).
We got her Embark DNA test results yesterday…
Yes, lots of retriever (both Labrador and a smidge of Golden). No, no border collie. Yes, some pit bull and Staffordshire terrier.
The little bit of Malamute and Siberian Husky… that was a surprise, although maybe not when you consider she doesn’t mind the cold.
Never would have guessed Boxer, but sure, why not?
Fingers crossed that their estimate for her adult weight (52lbs) ends up being close…
