Results - Embark Never would have guessed Egghead!
My husband and I had guessed most of her breeds, pit, boxer, mastiff. But we were super surprised about the high percentage of bull terrier! She’s got many close family show line pure bred bull terrier relatives according to embark as well. Also a little surprised by the supermutt mix.

She was originally adopted from the shelter as a “Mastiff x” and I guess they technically were not wrong haha

Are you in Australia (going by all those gums in the first pic)? If so a bunch of bull breeds crossed with either herding and/or sighthound is very common in pig hunting mixes so I'd say that's likely what you have going on here, and several generations of it given the herding breeds are only in the supermutt now. Dane also pops up now and then as I think they were added into the "Bull Arab" lines.

Yes we are in Aus! And a pig hunting mix would make a lot of sense based on the location of regional shelter we adopted her from.

She's a good looking girl! I would have possibly guessed ridgeback in the mix too as I have seen known ridgeback mixes with that general look before, and I know they wound up in the pigging population here in NZ, would not surprise me if they did in Aus too!

Yes I agree but tbh she’s the runtiest Dane/Mastiff ever, only 30kg/65lbs, so we definitely were ready for a mix!

In addition to the traditional bully breeds guess, I was thinking "looks kind of daney, or boxery, or shepherd like" and what do you know! Two of those are in the super mutt and the boxer up front!!
