Dog ancestry? What does this mean?
So by this picture, you can see that Molly and Jack look very different despite being Jack Russells.
We knew Molly was potentially a mix breed but we started to think the same about Jack too.
We’ve debated for years what they could possibly be made up from. Christmas 2015 we were going to get them ancestory kits as presents but we didn’t manage to get round to it but last Christmas we did.
Four weeks ago we actually got round to doing the dog ancestry test. Two envelopes containing swab brushes and a self-addressed envelope. Two swabs needed to be done of each of their mouths. Followed the instructions, entered the package details on the website and posted them off.
Last week Stephen got a notification email saying they were ready. EXCITING!!! Finally we were going to get the answers we had wondered about for many years.
What came back was slightly confusing…
Firstly we opened Jack’s results.
Parents: Jack Russells
Grandparents: Jack Russells
Great Grandparents: Jack Russells
Great Great Grandparents: Jack Russells and one Chihuahua
Ok…….
Then Molly’s results:
Parents: Jack Russells
Grandparents: Jack Russells
Great Grandparents: Jack Russells
Great Great Grandparents: Jack Russells and one…wait for it…Old English Sheepdog
*CONFUSED FACE*
I’ve been saying for a while that I reckoned Molly could have Chihuahua in her so we think the results were mixed up. That way would make much more sense.
So from it we’re taking it that Molly has a little Chihuahua in her and Jack has a little Old English Sheepdog in him (makes sense with him always getting covered in paint when I decorate).
