Quite honestly, those DNA tests are bogus. Someone with a purebred BC sent off some DNA once and it came back as a CHIHUAHUA. They are a waste of money, IMO.
What about a Staffy/Blue Heeler? Or some type of bully breed/Heeler.

White shepherd with blue tick hound? Or somebody tried to create one of those panda shepherds and missed the boat....

What's a panda shepherd?Originally Posted by shepgirl

Good dog - Greyt Peke
A BYB-induced color pattern in GSDs. They're supposed to resemble Pandas via their black and white mask. You can Google for pictures.

I personally can't see a bit of dalmatian or English setter in him.
I see ACD, shepherd, pit and/or lab. The angulation of the back legs definately says shepherd to me, the markings are very much ACD. The head, jaw line and chest could be pit, but I also see some lab in there.
I agree with others, "DNA" tests to determine breed are a total waste of money. One of my customers did that, with her 70 pound, gold colored, long haired, retreiver mix. We were all fairly sure the dog was a golden retriever mix, probably some lab and/or Irish setter in there. The results came back as something ridiculous ... I can't remember for sure now, but I think she was told the dog was something like Boston terrier and border collie. Ummmm .... no.
All dogs have the same DNA. The DNA is what makes a dog a dog, vs. a monkey or a parrot. A breed doesn't have unique DNA, a species does.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Anatolians for me!
The panda shepherd is actually a confirmed new mutation from purebred GSD parents. The 'paternal'/'maternal DNA on the parents of the first panda litter was confirmed and there was no 'whodunit' involved. These dogs are being studied genetically.

Thanks for all your input. Have you studied genetics at college? I am asking because that is one of the majors I am looking into, along with zoology or ecology.
