Hello Everybody,
I just got the DNA test results back on my ugly monkeybutt, Rocket! (Comet's hasn't come back yet.)
So, anyone want to guess what he is?
First – he's not a hybrid which I thought he was – he's just a mutt. (neither parent was full blooded)
He's got 37-74% of one breed, 20-36% of another, 10-19% of another and less than 10% of another.
Here's his pic:
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
"just a mutt"?
Mutts rule!
Ok, so we are seeing Terrier, Poodle, Lab and maybe Collie?

You got that right Jerry! MUTTS RULE! 😉
I see Terrier too... Cairn Terrier, Lab and I'll throw a crazy one out there...Dachshund! Hahaha!
Wanna know why? Cause when I did the DNA test on Maggie it came back grandparents as having GSD(and we thought her mother was purebred GSD!) and her great grandparents had Dachshund!!! Maggie...Doxie! OMG..that's a hoot as Maggie is over 25" tall.......

Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09
Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
Over 25" tall? And here I thought this was another member of the Maggie Pug Club. I suppose that eye could be attached to just about anything, although it doesn't really look like a pug now that I think about it. The name and resemblance of photos fooled me.
I see Terrier, Lab, Poodle and Beagle. I think Mutts are great!

Tasha lost her battle and became my Angel on May 4 2011. Forever in my heart….
hahaha! Maggie is in Maggie the Pug Club due to her name, right Karen? 😉

I'm going to guess:
Jack Russel, Schnauzer, Lab, and maybe Golden? Trying to figure out where his tail comes from.........
Woooo - some are getting very, very close!
Hint #1 - No poodle
Hint #2 - No terrier
Hint #3 - 21 lbs.
(everything I thought he was, was wrong)

Sorry about the tail shot - that's a light pink stuffed animal in the background that has crummy looking hair like his! His tail curls upward and is narrow.

Hmmm...curly tail...how about Basenji or Pug in him? No Terrier! See..those freakin' dna tests!!! Gawd...

I'd say 100% cute! I have no idea what the mix is but if you could bottle it you could be rich!
Debra & Angel Emily
Debra & Emily, a five year old doberman mix, who was diagnosed with an osteosaecoma. She had a right rear leg amputation on May 19, 2009. On November 10, 2009 she earned her wings and regained her fourth leg.
I can't wait to find out what monkey butt is made of!!! I have no clue about little doggies... Do they have the same DNA test for cats? I wanna know if this new psycho kittie I got has some bengal in her!!!
Angel Jake's Mom
Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
No terrier?? really? Ok... some golden, and other stuff. I guess I just plain don't know! I was going to guess wheaten terrier, since we're a little biased... ha ha ha. Whatever Rocket is, Holly thinks he'd be fun to play with!
Holly and Holly's mom
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

And the answer.........our Monkeybutt is:
1) Schnauzer
2) Beagle
3) Dachshund ??
4) Great Pyrenees ??? (I really doubt that!)
I honestly thought Cairne or Wheaton terrier and Poodle. But I have googled white schnauzer mix and his does look like it. He's cute but gosh he's annoying! Just ask Comet!
