Hello there,
I am new to this forum, but have a quick question or thoughts on a puppy I acquired a few months ago. I did a DNA (Embark test) testing on him and he came back with 50% Giant Schnauzer, 27% Golden Retriever, and 22% Poodle. I was wondering when people ask, is he considered a Giant Schnauzer of what would I call him. Any thoughts, much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Troy

Re: Giant Schnauzer DNA
Hi and welcome
I would probably go with Giant schnauzer cross if anybody asks, if the they want to know more they'll ask. I suppose a lot depends on what he looks like as to whether people ask.
I get people asking what Jasper is as they see a dog that looks like a schnauzer buts hes white and very few people have seen a white schnauzer so they automatically think hes crossed with something

Re: Giant Schnauzer DNA
Thank you the response..he definitely looks like a giant, jet black and is groomed like a Schnauzer, 56.5 lbs at 7 months, I wonder what his final weight will be?
