I had some new things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: it was my wife’s first Thanksgiving in the USA, and we adopted a puppy from our local animal shelter. She’s obviously a mix of breeds, and we’re quite curious which ones, so we’re submitting a DNA sample to a service that gives you a breakdown. In the meantime, I’m holding a contest (with a completely valueless mystery prize) to see who can correctly identify the breeds using only visual cues. Post your guesses well thought-out deductions in the comments section.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

So cute! Doberman and maybe a bit of pitbull. She is lovely…
Definitely Doberman and some Alsation I would say, and it’s great that you got her from an animal shelter.

DNA results should arrive in three weeks or so.
I have to agree with everyone who called her cute or adorable!
