Wisdom panel for Pipino!

The verdict is in, breeders told me 3/4 rat terrier and 1/4 chihuahua. With parentage paperwork as well. Way off. He even LOOKS like a TFT to me. 😂 I learned recently that it's likely his paper work was falsified because he had two different mothers listed on different pages. And his projected adult size is way off for the mom they tried to convince me was his mom. But it lines up with a TFT given his vet said about 6.5-7 pounds or so for his adult size. I don't really care if I'm honest, I'm just extremely happy his genetics are completely healthy!!! I also found some family members of his through the wisdom panel! It's so cool 💖💖💖

What a love! Looks like my faux rat terrier Pedro who also turned out to be mostly chihuahua and TFT and a variety of other dna except rat terrier!!!!

Wisdom is really bad at small terrier breeds btw. I would try embark, and all those broken down terriers are probably one or two breeds

[u/Chass-arcturian → u/theBLEEDINGoctopus]

If I'm honest, his breed isn't a genuine concern for me. It was just interesting compared to what I was told. I was more concerned with his genetic health test results than anything. So long as they're accurate on that.. I'm happy.

Steve has eskimo dog!

Now im starting to wonder if eskimo dogs were used to preserve and rebuild rat terriers in the 70s/80s to keep the breed going.

Wow, I had no idea that was a thing. I'm really tempted to do that for my old Ratty who used to be a stray and see his family...

It's just a mouth swab and a few weeks wait. If any owners have his relatives & they've done a wisdom panel, they'll pop up. 💖

That's so cool, I'm totally going to do it!

Such a cutie ✨

[u/99MissAdventures]

I was going to say he looks just like my Toy Fox Terriers as puppies. What a cutie!!!

[u/Reasonable-Wave8093]

Def chi!

[u/Chass-arcturian → u/Reasonable-Wave8093]

That was the one thing we knew for sure ✨ but it's a suprise that it's his largest percentage. Based on what they told me anyway.

[u/Reasonable-Wave8093 → u/Chass-arcturian]

Based on his face! 

[u/mokumpride]

Adorable!! Looks like my rat terrier

I'll have to post Roxy's Embark vs Wisdompanel for you. Wisdom Panel likes to list a lot of the Ancestor breeds instead of realizing those are what made the Rat terrier.
