Those Eskies Blog - Living with American Eskimo Dogs

Those Eskies Blog is dedicated to my American Eskimo Dogs: Angie and Buddy. Angie is an American Eskimo miniature and Buddy is an American Eskimo standard size mix. You can find here information about those smart, intelligent and full of energy dogs, pictures and read about living with Eskies under one roof.

Buddy DNA Test

Buddy was purchased as an American Eskimo standard size dog, but very shortly we started to figure out he is not acting like a typical Eskie, and he doesn't look like one.
I obviously fell in love with that funny dog, but I wanted to check what other dogs he is mixed with.
Wisdom Panel was the most recommended dog DNA test, even by our veterinarian, so I decided to buy it and check who Buddy really is.


Wisdom Panel Dog DNA

Doing the test was very easy, the worst part was waiting for results! And when they came...


I knew that he is in some % American Eskimo

So that part I knew, I wasn't sure how many % is Eskie blood in our Buddy. He is 62.5% American Eskimo and 37.5% Mixed Breed Groups dog.


Now I know how much % of Eskie is in my Buddy

And below was part I was waiting for: the breed his ancestors was crossed with. Ok, so Buddy is

It would be nice to know what kind of breed is that magic mix

And here is the part I am very confused. I bought the DNA test to make sure what particular breed except American Eskimo make Buddy being Buddy. "American Eskimo Dog Mix" or  "Mixed Breed" don't seem to clear this up.

That we knew a long time ago
That we learned as a test result

Hm, so we can narrow it down to a couple of breeds: Akita, Canadian Eskimo Dog, Japanese Shiba Inu, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Klee Kai, Chinese Shar-Pei, Korean Jindo, Tibetan Mastiff, Alaskan Malamute, Chow Chow, Samoyed. Only 11 dogs bread to guess, thank you Wisdom Panel!!!

The whole experience was fun, but it hasn't completely fulfilled my expectations. I knew from the beginning that Buddy is an American Eskimo mix and I wanted to know who is he mixed with.

For me, Buddy is the funniest and most goofy dog I have ever had in my life, and I love him of course. Maybe one day we will find out his origin, not that we can't live without it ...
