Mack (5/ 2009 adoption - attention sibling owners - Leo, Jasper, Lucy

I adopted Mack (now renamed to Duke) on 5/23/09. We've had Duke for a couple of years and love him dearly. Thank you, Perfect Paws Pet Rescue & Duke's foster 'parents' - for helping us give Duke his forever home!!

He came to your pet rescue with 4 of his siblings. This is the page of your site that references Mack (Duke). http://www.perfectpawspetrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID61960#animalOtherPictures

3 of his siblings are:
Leo: http://www.perfectpawspetrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID61958
Jasper: http://www.perfectpawspetrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID61961
Lucy: http://www.perfectpawspetrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID61967
I can't recall the name of the 4th, unless there were a total of 4 and Duke (Mack) was the 4th.

The dogs were thought to "puggles" (pug/beagle/mixed). We knew early on he was not a puggle and likely had more terrier in him. This year I decided to have some DNA testing done on Duke to hlep us best keep his inherent breed traits satisfied through training and activity.

In a nutshell, one of Duke's parents was a Toy Fox Terrier/English Cocker Spaniel cross. The other of Duke's parents was a Chihahua Mix. The mixed breed ancestor (the dog crossed w/the Chihahua to make up his second parent) was identified by the 5 next best breed matches that appeared in the ananlysis of Duke's DNA. Those 5 breeds (in order of relative strength in the analysis) are Yorkshire Terrier (5.17%), Biewer Terrier (5.04%), English Toy Spaniel (4.06%), Beagle (1.62%), and Rat Terrier (1.46%).

I'm sharing the results in hopes the owners of the other siblings may get it. I'm happy to share Duke's full canine genetic analysis, which contains a great deal more information you may find helpful - or just intersting!

I've attached a couple updated pictures for you. Enjoy!

Hank, formerly Gage

We adopted Gage on January 15, 2011, when he was only eight weeks old. Upon adoption we renamed him Hank because my boyfriend's name is Gage. After bringing Hank home, we found out that he was already completely crate trained, which made it a lot easier to house train him. We also discovered how easy it is to teach Hank various commands; it only took him three tries to learn to drop his toy on command.
Hank loves to go for walks and to play outside at my parent's house. He knows how to fetch and to return his toys. Also, he plays very well with other animals and kids. We enjoy every day with him and we look forward to many more. We would like to say thank you to the family who fostered him, you guys did a great job.

Princess Nora

Nora joined our family about a month ago. Because our neighbor's name is Norma, we decided we had to call her by another name, and she became Princess. She looks forward to her walks around the neighborhood each day, and a rawhide bone to chew on at night.
She loves to play with her "cousins," Breezy and Bosley - our daughter's two dogs. They have taught her to play catch and keep-away.
She was not sure about riding in a car, but has adapted quickly. Yesterday she took her longest trip yet - a trip to our property on Coldwater Lake in southern Michigan. Already, she tried out the water!
We're looking forward to a fun summer with our very big family and all their dogs.
She is smart, affectionate, and already an important member of our family! She is PERFECT.
