The results are in!

[Huskins & Cheryl]

Ok folks, are you ready? Now, let me just say first - Huskins is not a doodle of any kind! I know, I know, this is shocking! Yes, that's right, ABSOLUTELY NO POODLE! I am still in disbelief! I never questioned that there was something other than poodle. He just looks like he has it in him somewhere.

 Anyway, I think one of the breeds detected in Huskins is pretty obvious. Many of you had already guessed correctly. The second, I actually suspicioned here  just lately. I am totally weirded out that my suspicion was correct. The crazy thing, is that the strongest feelings I had toward guessing the breeds in Huskins, I somehow already knew. Looking back, only twice in my postings on DK I said "i have a feeling" about what he has in him. Turns out, my gut was right! As many of you have already said, "If you think you know, you are probably right"!

 The results from the Wisdom Panel "Insights" kit says Huskins is 50/50 Yorkie and Australian Shepherd! Not a single other breed was detected. Even my son said the whole time "he is a Yorkie". His pictures clearly show he looks like a Yorkie.That is what makes him so darned cute! I bet one of his parents was a "blue merle" Australian Shepherd. This would make sense, Huskins has so much of that silver/gray coloring and that dark liner around his eyes.

 So what do they call this designer mix? Yorkaussie? Sheporkie? I don't know, but what a great combo! Now we can take him to the farm and be sure he'll fit right in with the cattle.

 As for DK, I am probably now the only member that has a dog with absolutely no Doodle in his dawdle! Hehee! Well, I hope you all have gotten a kick out of our journey anyway! Thanks for all the fun!

I'm loving "Sheporkie" - has a much better ring than Yorkaussie.  Now, however, you're going to have to get Huskins a pal - a "real" doodle!!

He is so darn cute!  I want one - maybe you can start of new breed.

LOL Jane!    I love Sheporkie!!!!!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I think whenever anyone asks you what kind of dog Huskins is you should just matter-of-factly say "a Sheporkie".  You can follow that it's a new and rare "designer breed".  I guess instead of WTD you're going to have to say WTS.  He is absolutely the cutest Sheporkie I have ever seen!

Cheryl, I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering if you had gotten the results yet!!! Wow!!!  I kind of like Sheporkie!!! LOL!!!  Well we have a few other honorary doodles on DK so...in any case you sure have a cutie pie and it sounds like a wonderful family member as well! Thanks for the update!
