| Look at those Husky ears |
Refresher, according to the 2 DNA tests that we had ran on Duchess, she's half Husky, half boxer mix.
We belong to a local Husky Enthusiast group that we meet up with at the local area dog parks.
It is very interesting to see the dogs play among all those purebred Huskies. I enjoy seeing them and seeing which traits of Duchess come from the Husky.
Because of this, I've done some research to determine which of the traits for each breed that are dominate and show in Duchess.
Because I like spreadsheets, I put the info on the below sheet.
I filled in under the breed that she gets that trait from.
Pretty neat genetics, eh?
