Wrenny's Roots

It is my own modest opinion, NOT just “Grandmom Syndrome,” that Wrenny is, as dogs go, a beauty.
People stop their cars to compliment her. They approach at the outdoor café asking to pet her. They offer their guesses about her ancestry: “Looks like a Basenji.” “That is a very hound-like face.” “Maybe some Corgi in there.” Two vets have seen Border Collie in her, and in fact Emily found her by Googling “Border Collie Mix;” which certain high-spirited behavior seems to confirm.

Succumbing to curiosity and a very persuasive website, we sent for a dna kit and followed the instructions: “Insert sterile swab into dog’s mouth between cheek and gum. Press firmly on outside of cheek while twirling swab for at least 10 seconds.” This would have been documented with a photo but it was, not surprisingly, a four-hands operation. With the sample collected, we dropped it in the mail and waited for the results.

Soooo. The envelope, please…….

After the required disclaimers, the report reads:

Level 3 (20 – 36%): Border Collie
Level 3 (20 – 36%): Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Level 4 (10 – 19%): Bull Terrier

Level 4 (10 – 19%): Dachshund

Level 4 (10 – 19%): Great Pyrenees
Level 4 (10 – 19%): Parson Russell Terrier

Very interesting!

Most of all, she is a lovely Multi-dog, unique in all the world.
With the time for re-uniting with her “real” mom approaching, we are now searching for websites on cloning.
