Dog description

Update 7-12-19: Brodie experienced 2 neurological incidents, the first on 1/28/19 and the 2nd on 5/2/19. His vet believes these were peripheral vestibular incidents. He's recovered rather well, has a bit of a head tilt and has some lingering deficits in his hind limbs, particularly his right hind. Going downstairs is more difficult now. But at almost 14 he's still walking 1 mile per day and never misses a meal! He's on gabapentin and galliprant to keep him comfortable.

Dog summary

Brave, loyal, strong, firm about his opinions, a totally solid citizen!

Quirk

He's 50 lbs but lOVES to play with little dog toys...

Does best

He is brave, handsome, true, strong...I call him my

Fun Story

Brodie was adopted at age 1.5 yrs from the Australian Shepherd rescue in WV. We went along for years believing him to be an Aussie, and he demonstrated all the typical traits, especially prey drive and guarding. He had 2 cat-sisters (sadly passed away now) that he was very fond of. We got his DNA tested last year and no Aussie in the room! What a surprise.

GENOMIC BREED MIX

What are these results saying? How did we get there?

We're trying to determine all the breeds and "non breeds" in your dog's ancestry - 80% of dogs on earth don't have breed ancestry at all!

In these Version 2 results, we predicted your dog's mix from the 101 breeds with open data for validity. Here, we applied a more accurate method using an improved breed reference panel.

If your dog has unusual ancestry, we may not have an accurate match - yet! As our reference set grows, your dog's results might evolve, so check back for updates and new information as new data becomes available.
