Hi everyone! I just want to let you all know that I’m having a “guess the breed” contest for Finn! The winner will get a donation to a charity/organization of their choice!
Post your guess as a comment on this post for your chance to win!
I’m really excited because I just sent in the DNA test kit (chose to use the Embark test), and am now patiently waiting to get the results (it takes awhile). But these results will not only show me Finn’s breed composition, but also trace as far back as his grand-dogs and maybe even great grand-dogs! It also tests for over 100 genetic conditions including Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), which will obviously be great to know if that is an issue prior to making him hike 8-15 miles/day.
So here’s some information to help you make your guess:
Finn has webbed front feet, but a single coat of very water resistant hair. He’s very nose/scent driven, and always seems like he’s tracking something. He’s very quiet, very observant, but also relentlessly energetic & when he runs, looks like he is galloping. He does do the classic pointer stance, but will also freeze like a border collie watching a flock of sheep.
Not sure if any of that information was helpful, but if not, here are some pictures to help. His mum is the multi colored dog (not sure about dad) and he was born in Mississippi.
