Lucy's DNA results were also a bit surprising. She is Pit, Newfoundland and Bull Terrier. (We thought she had Boston Terrier).

You would think Lucy got nothing from the Newfoundland but her color (she certainly did not get the size or fur), but she loves to swim, and steers with her tail. These characteristics were no doubt inherited from that breed. (They use Newfoundlands for water rescue).

We had friends that had Newfy's. When they had guests over to swim they had to put the dogs in the kennel because they kept saving the swimmers, Joe.
 
That is pretty funny that she has him figured out.

Didn't know they did DNA tests for dogs. I recently did one through ancestry.com and my main bloodlines were mostly not much of a surprise but one was significantly less than expected and the trace bloodlines were totally unexpected.
Svk is part alder retriever, part birch hound!
 
I've always been a little skeptical of the DNA testing for dogs - a few years back someone did a test where they sent samples to 3 different laboratories and got 3 different analyses. Might be more accurate now, but we're keeping the dog anyway, and she has been spayed, so not sure how important it is to have a named breed or mix.

People ask and I tell them she's an 'I Don't Know', or a 'Good Dog'. People like to guess, so afterwards I go on-line and look up all these species that I never heard of to compare photos.

A family friend is involved in dog rescue and fostering - every dog she has is listed as a 'Sweet Girl' or a 'Sweet Boy'. Might be new breeds?

Sounds like you've got a Bitza.

Here a pic of one of my muts he's a hell of a coyote killer and hog dog. He is a nice dog until my girls are around. He's 112 lbs and runs over 30 mph
They told me the was a chance deisle would make 90-100 pounds sead they got different sized dogs with the corso pit cross breeding. Depends on which dogs they breed at that time.
 
When my cousin sold his business to his Brother In Law, part of the deal was a load of firewood every year, and a crew of men and at least one climber for a day, every year. Here's his load of wood. He doesn't care about length. I'm real particular about mine, every piece measured. He was happy, I'd pass, even for free. Wouldn't be able to make nice long racks, Joe.
