Finally got in the DNA results for Shadow. Anybody else want in on this? (I'll ship a free AR mag to the closest guess of his ancestry).
So far:
Graves has guessed Chow/Retriever;
Troublco guessed Chow;
Steveopia guessed Chow/Border Collie (after throwing Chow/Shepherd out there), and;
BPTactical guessed Chupacabra.
The DNA test showed 5 breeds; 1 makes up 37-74% of his DNA, and each of the other 4 breeds make up 10-19%.
Here's a hint: the DNA did not show Chupacabra - (sorry Bert).
I'll post the results later this evening...

OK - Here's the certificate with the DNA results. Only 3 folks wanted to make a guess, and all three had Chow in their answer, but Steveopia got the closest. Shadow has mostly German Shepherd, then Shar-Pei, Chow, Collie, and Schnauzer. Steveopia initially said Chow/Shepherd (great guess), then chose Chow/Border Collie, so I've got to give it to him.
Steveopia - PM me your address, and I'll send your mag tomorrow.
(I sure didn't expect "Schnauzer")

Wow, that's a heck of a mix. (I didn't think he was pure chow, but I wasn't sure as to what else.) Looking at his face, I can see the Shar-pei and looking at him walking I see the Shepherd. I wouldn't have guessed Collie and I'm with you, I'd have never gotten Schnauzer in a million years. I suppose if he ever starts schnauzing, you'll know why....
Way to go, Steveopia!

I didn't guess because I agreed with BPTactical: Chupacabra!
