Guess the breed!

We recently sent a DNA test to embark to find out what our boy Moose is. He was found as a baby (we think about 4 months old) by a friend dodging heavy traffic. She asked if we could foster/keep him and we said we would foster but we had just lost our shih tzu Levi the week before so a new dog wasn't something we felt ready for. But then we met him and fell in love and that was 5 years ago. So here is the game: We have about 2 weeks before we get the results so until then make your guesses! We know he has to be part heeler of course but the rest is a mystery. If one person guesses correctly I'll send them 25 mill. If it's 2 then they will each get half, more than that and each correct person will get 5 mill. If there is a lot of guesses i'll figure out a bigger/different prize. I think i'll be limiting it to 2 guesses per person so people don't just throw in every breed to win but you can change your 2 at any time until the results come. Answer it as "heeler x (enter other breed here)". Facts to help make your guesses: Our best guess so far is heeler x malinois because of his personality and his body confirmation looks like a mal with heeler color slapped on. He is very attatched to me and when doing tricks he does everything at mach 5 speed. He is mouthy when he plays but then he is the gentlest boy when he needs to be. He is just crazy smart. His heeler part gives him his color, bark, and deep need to heel anything that moves. Pictures are hard to get since he only stops moving long enough to lay down. lol Good luck! ![]() |

Heeler, GSD, Jack Russell, and every dog ends up having Chow in their DNA results nine times out of ten xD |

That's not a common breed we have here in the uk. Don't think I've ever met one and I work with animals. Australian shepherds are more common but still not very popular. 👻 nothing to see here 👻 |

They are very popular in the US especially Texas. They are a tough, hefty mid sized breed know for their ability to handle 2000 lbs cattle. They can take a kick to the head and will just keep going. They are the embodiment of the phrase "I didn't hear no bell". lol Here is a pic of a purebred heeler to compare. Though they get their tails docked most of the time so they don't get stepped on. I have heard them referred to as "redneck malinois" and it fits them so well. ![]() |

Wow they sound like a great working breed and I can definitely see the heeler when comparing. Will be really interesting what the results come back as! 👻 nothing to see here 👻 |

They are a great breed I have had many over the years. They make surprisingly good family dogs too as long as they have plently of outdoor exercise. Children make good "cows" for them to herd. lol ![]() |

we got the results! *drum roll* 53.7% - Aussie Cattle Dog aka Heeler 17.8% Rusell-type Terrier 11.6% - Supermutt (it shows German Shepherd, Boxer, and Poodle (small) and the main 33 in there somewhere) 8.8% - Aussie Shepherd 4.8% - Border Collie & 3.3% Mcnab Shepherd Becausae there is so many we will go with the 2 with the most so any who said heeler with jack russell will get part of the prize! We plan to do one for our other 2 mutts so I'll do this again when we do them. It was fun to see what everyone guessed. ![]() |
