Dog ancestry search

The one on the bottom is Irene, the puppy,
 who definitely has both hound and terrier in her little bones.


The only dogs I've ever lived with were pure breeds. So when my friend found a lost soul of a puppy in a ditch by a state forest way down in southern New York, I thought, "must find out what kinds of dogs are in this pup, so I can start the rigorous training regimes I am known for!"

So I quickly started researching her on ancestry.com and see for yourselves what I've uncovered so far:

This here Transylvania hound has to be a relative!
Pretty sure, Irene has plane in her!

This spirited young pup is on her terrier side!

These make up the many voices in her head!

Even though this is a retriever - it definitely is Irene's style!
Three distant cousins - Larry, Larry and Earle


I could not find any connection to Irene and this half lab, half door!
Nice try buddy, but this pup has a most different blood line than my girl!
I traced her back to the Ren Faire and many of her relatives perform each year 

One day I as I looked into Irene's eyes - I saw this dog. 


These are relatives that went the pioneer route - landing them out west.

I wish!
