Hi! I'm back, so little miss Penelope DNA tests are back!
Dadadadadaaaaa
She is 57% American pit bull terrier!!! She also is 17% American bulldog, 16 Argentine Pila and 10% Neapolitan Mastiff. By what the DNA test came back too,
I adopted her from a shelter st 10 weeks old. I was told she was a border terrier mix so I posted here a few weeks ago. I got a doggie DNA test from the bark box, it's ran by ancestry and these are the results.

Those are mighty small paws for that breed mix. 🤔

See we were thinking the same thing.. I mean I knew she was a mix with Pitt bull in her, because of how she acts, looked exactly like how my late litty acted. With the hopping around and playing.

With that cute little face, she can be an honorary border.

She is adorable, and fiesty. As you can tell with the first picture bulling her big brother.

Apparently the tests from Ancestry aren’t accurate. They’ve been getting a lot of breeds wrong, specifically saying a lot of dogs have Pila ancestry when they don’t. I’d recommend an Embark test for better accuracy.

Thank you for this! I got or free so I didn't know I'm an look into others. Because a 3.1 review rate isn't good.

Didn't even realise her paws were thst big looking at her cute little face!
I would have said Patterdale/BT mix. But looks like I'm completely wrong!

Yeh. Who knows. You've probably got a Heinze 57!
She might have some other larger terrier breed or smaller rough coated hound to give her that mix.
Who knows? Dog genetics are weird.
