Who's Your Daddy?

Animal Radio
If you are a regular listener to Animal Radio®, then you know about our studio Chihuahua, Ladybug. But as Ladybug gets bigger, we are not sure she is a full-blooded Chihuahua. She has some physical traits that are not Chihuahua-like, but what is she?

To find out, we decided to get in touch with Robyn Ray at Canine Heritage Breed Test. She mentioned that there are over 1,100 breeds of dogs, and they test the most popular 112 breeds of the United States.

We have submitted a cheek swab from Ladybug; so stay tuned over the next several weeks to see what Ladybug truly is. While everyone agrees there is Chihuahua in the mix, other guesses have been everything from Miniature Pinscher to Rat Terrier.

And if you have any doubts about what the make-up of your dog is, give this a try! And, with every test result, you get a framable DNA analysis, which can include a picture of your pet. Call 1-800 DNA Dog or visit http://www.canineheritage.com.
