If I had a mutt I would probably shell out the money for the test also.

I like dogs and think the different charactertics that breed exhibit are interesting. Not strictly just the "I'm a herder, I'm a sight hound, I'm a scent hound" but all the other odd quirks that can be typical of a breed. Therefore I think it'd be cool so figure out the dogs background and research those breeds and see where the pup "fits".

And yes, I sometimes spend way too much time watching Animal Planet shows on dog breeds ;)

Surprised by the "not lab" .... but some hounds can have some "labish" looking qualities so could be that influence.

Exactly.
For instance, my dog goes on point when he finds a grouse. Or in other instances, he will tree something and wait at the base of the tree for me to come check it out. He also loves water, and retrieves, but not un-endingly like a lab does. He's intelligent and obedient, but occasionally gets a wild hair and does something nuts.
I just want to know what plays into these things. Certain breeds are known for certain things.

It strikes me that most people here have bikes that are worth ridiculous amounts of money, many times worth more than the cars we drive or other major staples in our lives, and yet BS is getting a bunch of flak for spending $80 to know the origins of a pet - and I hope everyone spends more time with their pets than on their bikes.

I bet if he posted a thread saying he spent $80 on a Thomson Masterpiece seatpost to save a paltry few grams, and posted a picture of it, everyone would be oohing and aahing about how great it was... :p

Some breeds lick peanutbutter, some bite. It's a good thing to know in advance.
close the contest, folks. we've got our post of the year.


btw, it's funny to see BS get his panties all twisted up w/ the people calling him out for wasting $80 on this. :D

I wonder if BS would have actually found out breed info on his dog would this still be considered a waste? Now that I have read more I can see why BS did it...D

He looks like a Hungarian Mountain Cohkkhauser. Either that or Ecudorian Bull Moose Cohkkhauser. They are very similar breeds so I am not sure.

Not that my opinion means much, but I'd say that dog has some Missississippi Leghound in him ... "if the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg, and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants if you know what I mean. A word of warning though: If he does lay into you, it's best to just let him finish

Don't feel bad, it's a Lab. Wave a stick at it and it instantly becomes the happiest creature on Earth.
don't forget a little towel rack action to add to the mystery of "what's behind curtain #1?"

Dumbasses got it wrong. Everyone knows you never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Why care what's down that trail or around the next bend of the river? Why waste your time looking or caring? It's called being curious.
