Izzy is between 37-74% Yorkshire Terrier
and between 20-36% Papillon
and between 10-19% Collie
and less than 10% Greyhound
And probably a lot other breeds, but these are the four that stood out on the DNA test. Now we have to figure out what you call a Yorkie/Papillon/Collie/Greyhound. Yorpicolhound?
So what do you think? Can you see any of these in Izzy? Honestly, I can see the Greyhound in the way she sprints around the house, her ears are kinda like a Papillon, but the others... not so sure. (Did you know that a Greyhound mix is called a Lurcher?)
I decided to search some different combinations of these breeds and see if any of them resembled our little dog.
Yorkie-Papillon mix
Greyhound-Terrier mix
Papillon-Greyhound mix
(Yes, a lot of Greyhound mixes but for some reason they're easier to find than the others.)
So I'm seeing a few that kinda resemble Izzy but I think the Greyhound should be higher than the Collie - which I don't see in her at all. I wonder what breeds may have come from the Collie or the Grayhound that maybe they don't test for. What do you think? Was the DNA test accurate or do you think they're completely off?
As for the contest, there was only ONE person who guessed even one of the breeds. MaryR guessed Greyhound, so her little Yorkie-mix, Holly, will get a package of chewies (which she doesn't have to share when Izzy comes visits in a few weeks). :)
Btw, I want to thank my mom for getting the DNA test for us for Christmas. People are constantly asking us what kind of dog she is because she is really unique and quite a sweetie. It's been fun trying to figure out what she is and now the mystery is over. We have a Yorpicolhound! :)
