Pics: Rottweiler....American Bulldog...what do you think?

I agree, and as I said in my original post- it doesn't matter at all, we are simply just interested! Surely if you had a crossbreed you would wonder what breeds were in him?

I do see your point, but I have a lurcher and I have no idea what is in her - it could be whippet, greyhound, collie, saluki, terrier... She looks and behaves how I like her to, is the right size for me and I love her dearly. I am not at all interested by what her genetic make up is.

I would be interested. I am a molecular biologist so obviously the genetics would hold a little bit of interest to me. It's just cool that you can actually find out if you want to

I haven't looked at their website but from what ester has says I imagine that it is all a bit wooly as all dogs are ( I imagine) very, very similar genetically. Meaning there won't be a whole host of reliable markers to use because they are all so closely related. If six breeds all have a common ancestor not far in the past you are going to struggle to tell them apart genetically I reckon? I am struggling at work to tell apart sheep and goat and they are a lot more different than a staffie and a EBT!

I would still get it done though anyway, for interests sake, just because it is cool

Whatever he is he is very handsome though. What a fortunate cross

To me he looks like a lab x staff I'm afraid!
