Case Study: Pippa. 
Pip belongs to one of our nurses, Emma. Emma and partner Tom adopted this little cutie from a rescue shelter at 4months of age as a Doberman x mix.
Pip’s rate of growth began to slow down at the 22kg mark, so Emma and Tom had their suspicions about how much Doberman she actually had in her DNA. She also began showing working dog traits, such as having high energy levels, becoming more inquisitive and was always very intelligent.
So to find out, Pippa had a DNA test! Four weeks later, the results were in…
Labrador x Doberman were the breeds which make up Pip.
The next 5 breeds which appeared in her results included .. Australian Kelpie, Keeshond, Shepherd, Australian Koolie and suprisingly a Dacshund!
