DNA heritage test



Max is having a canine DNA heritage test done and it is very exciting! Due to scientific advances, DNA can now be taken from a mongrel dog and it can tell you what breeds make up your mutt.
I have always wondered about his ancestry and it looks like I need wonder no longer. The test involves simply swabbing the inside of Max's mouth and when the results come back it will give each breed found in him as a percentage.
I have my own predictions and it would be great to see how close I am. There is definitely GSD and collie I reckon but there could be others. From certain angles he has the look of a Saluki or a Corgi about him too.
I can't wait to find out the results....

Camping fun

Max had a fun weekend camping in a camper van called Dougal when we went to Devon. He had a great time on Woolacombe beach in the sun and did a bit of walking around Lynton and Lynmouth (and even went in the Victorian cliff railway).
