Here is the cutie, the 95 lb Bud-Z that can knock me on my butt in a single move (and he’s done it several times).\u00a0 We got him after after our beloved Buddy died.\u00a0 Buddy was a Rottie, Chow, Shepard, German Short Hair Pointer mix with a beautiful disposition.\u00a0 After he died (two years ago, March 3rd, I wrote a post about him then), Rich tried to find a similar looking dog.\u00a0 He did, in West Virginia (found him on PetFinder.com). Well, he may look the same, but his temperament is truly different. To say the least, the first year he was very difficult to the point we hired a trainer to help us with him.\u00a0 Here’s the post<\/a> I wrote after Buddy died. You can see how similar they looked, oh but how different they are!<\/p>\n

As a present for Rich, I had Bud-Z’s DNA analyzed, and the results are in.\u00a0 We thought he was Chow, Rottie, and Shepard, and then guessed other things.\u00a0 Our vet though Ridgeback and Shepard, another vet thought Golden Lab.\u00a0 Rich was sure Bullmastiff, and I feared Pit Bull.\u00a0 But, nope!<\/p>\n

I’ll also add that it took a good year, but Bud-Z temperament is now excellent.\u00a0 He’s extremely loving, loyal, and listens. He still does not like, nor will tolerate, any rabbits or squirrels in our yard.<\/p>\n

The results are in … Bud-Z is a Chow-Chow mix and a Whippet Mix<\/strong>!!\u00a0 Whippet????\u00a0 We thought, no way!\u00a0 However, Bud-z is incredibly fast off the line.\u00a0 The other breeds in the mix, which all add up to the special dog that is Bud-Z are:
\nCatahoula Leopard Dog at 45.54%
\nPlott Hound at 21.07%
\nCardigan Welsh Corgi at 10.16%
\nNewfoundland at 7.72%
\nShih Tzu at 3.51%<\/p>\n
