Who’s her daddy?
I’ve been a little curious in the past what breeds make up my spunky, personable long bodied chihuahua like dog. The chihuahua part seems pretty obvious, look at the ears. The shelter where I adopted her suggested maybe terrier, as well. I’ve guessed everything from a Greyhound to a Jack Russell, but I don’t think I’ve hit the mark. To be honest, I don’t really care. She’s love-able, sweet as can be, and all mine. I don’t really need to know much else. What sparks my curiosity more is where she came from. What did the first year of her life consist of that brought her into the shelter the days before I wandered in and picked her out? I like to think that she ran with a crew of feral cats. She has a habit of licking her paw, then using it to clean her face. She also tends to crawl up on my lap in a very cat like manner. Even though I don’t need to know exactly what mix she is, every now and then I get a little curious. Turns out, most owners can be way off when guessing the breeds of their mutts. One of my favorite sites Petside, lets you test your skills by guessing the breeds of several mutts, the results are revealed on the next page. Unfortunately, none of the mutts resembled Maisey. Maybe I will just have to shell out the $200 find out her ancestry. Anyone want to place bets?
