Little Man a/k/a BBD (Big Beautiful Dog).
Okay, confession time. I did the Mars 2.5 test a few weeks back for my rescue pup. I was a bit incredulous as to their findings and my vet just shook his head. My rescue puppy has fuzzy face with the ear set and profile of a GSD. He has a very strange body with extremely fuzzy feet from his wrists/ankles down and webbed feet which speaks to retriever somewhere in his background. The rescue had told me he was a lab/poodle cross. His vet guessed Irish Wolfhound or Giant Schnauzer crossed with something else. I was at a total loss.
His 2.5 came back GSD, Golden Retriever, Boxer and Pom. (Pom? Yes, Pom).
I just thought it was a fun thing but then got to thinking - what if I did this again with a slightly different birthdate (he's a rescue, we can only guess), poundage (he is a growing boy) and name? So, I did.
Guess what? The 3.0 came back with EXACTLY the same parentage in the same percentages!
I'm sold! These folks KNOW what they are doing. Thank you, Mars, for renewing my faith in genetics!
