Genetic testing for dogs. When your wolf pup isn't a wolf at all.

Recently we adopted a puppy. This is Esme she is our newest member of the family, she turns 6 months old in 2 days.

she is bigger now than in this photo she is maybe 35 lbs now, she was about 18lbs in this photo
A couple of friend of mine dogs mated and gave birth to a litter and one of them looked just like her momma when she was a puppy and I had to have her. When my friend Yig adopted Luna he was told she was a wolf/malamute hybrid. And our friend Blue's Dog was suppose to be a Husky/Doberman mix. Well they both don't have what they thought they had. But that is actually a good thing because wolf and doberman breeds are on restricted breed lists and it is hard to find people to rent to you with those type of dogs. And even though we are building and looking at alternatives since we can no longer stay here till our house is built, getting this news is good for us. Our puppy is mainly Alaskan Malamute mix with a few other things thrown in. One of the people who adopted one of my puppy's siblings did genetic testing on the puppy she adopted and these are the results of Smokey's DNA genetic testing.

Now this was a limited testing that only went back 3 generation so maybe someone along the line there is a tiny bit of what the seller of Blue and Yig's dogs claimed they are, but it does give me peace of mind I won't have to worry about someone saying she is a dangerous breed. Because Esme is really really sweet.
