With trace amounts of: Australian Shepherd, Dachshund, Kerry Blue Terrier, and NEWFOUNDLAND! Huh?! I don&#8217;t know WHAT that dog would look like, but I&#8217;m not it! So we talked to the head science guy and told him we demand a recount and we got one and we got much more plausible results (see below).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kyliedog.com\/diary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/kyliedna.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-691\" title=\"Slide 1\" src=\"http:\/\/kyliedog.com\/diary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/kyliedna-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kyliedog.com\/diary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/kyliedna-300x150.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kyliedog.com\/diary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/kyliedna.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What? You can&#8217;t read that?<\/p>\n<p>Well allow me to translate.. It says that I am primarily a Parson Russell Terrier. No surprise there! The Newfoundland came back as a false positive (head science guy says they are working on that issue). No surprise there. But the Shih Tzu stayed along with a little Silky Terrier. Ok, that&#8217;s a surprise! But the Australian Shepherd stayed too and I guess that&#8217;s ok, afterall &#8220;Kylie&#8221; is an Australian name &#8211; it means boomerang!!<\/p>\n<p>So in the end, it turns out I&#8217;m a mostly Jack Russell mixed terrier&#8230; which is pretty much what we knew before the test! But the bottom line is, I&#8217;m one of a kind!<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll be 15 tomorrow!!<\/p>\n<p><em>** editors note, what the chart actually says is that there is a strong match to &#8220;Hedge&#8221; breed and that combined with the Kerry Blue and Parson Russell makes a likely match to the Jack Russell Pet population.\u00a0 You have to remember that Kylie came along a LONG time before the AKC recognized the breed and changed the name from Jack Russell to Parson Russell.\u00a0 So with a little human intervention and a more deep analysis, a print out said that if the computer HAD to pick a single breed for Kylie it would be Parson Russell.\u00a0\u00a0 So what we suspected all along was the case and we got confirmation about a few more breeds that were combined to make the wonder that is Kylie.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s all very fascinating and we were even invited to submit for a new analysis in the future, after they have added more genetic samples from the JRT pet population and possibly some dogs from Hawaii that might make Kylie&#8217;s results even more clear.\u00a0 **<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since tomorrow is my birthday I thought it was a good time to FINALLY report how my DNA re-test went..
