Just for fun and to try to get an idea of what kind of breed Queenie is, we sent a swab with her saliva to Embark to test her DNA. The results were: Collie (32.6 percent), Norwegian elkhound (29.4 percent), American Eskimo dog (14.6 percent) and “supermutt” (23.4 percent). We were told and thought she was part German shepherd, but I can see a resemblance to the Norwegian elkhound in looks as well as behavior. The collie I find hard to believe (although I've been told about smooth collies, which is a possibility), the same with the American eskimo. We’d like to do it again, but getting her saliva on a swab was a challenge (gross understatement!) for all involved, so I don’t think we will.
