I've often wondered what breeds made up Winston (https://www.facebook.com/winston.white.14811)since he joined me last year. I always thought there was a bit of wolfhound in him but it appears I was wrong :)

Didn't know you could do that with dogs.. :thumbs:

If I have this right, you thought he was part wolfhound when in fact he's a greyschnauzerdoodlehounderspanielwhippedcockerpointer?
aka pure breed :thumbs:

Something like that lol
Looks like he's predominantly Schnauzer & GWP on the one side which makes sense looking at them

That looks just like my family tree if you substitute 'Mick' for Poodle, 'Limey' for Greyhound and so forth. :-) It is actually a fairly long list but I did not want to offend any beyond Micks and Limeys. I gots' all kinds o' species in my woodpile though all European as far as I know.... but who really knows?
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Odd thing but the things that are available for pets in the first world are often better than the very best things available to humans in the third- world. A while back, we had a kitten emergency: had Phoebe spayed, she apparently aspirated some stomach contents, developed pneumonia and was having a great deal of trouble breathing. So she got a trip to the cat I.C.U., complete with echo cardiogram (Phoebe has a cardiologist!!!!), a hyperbaric chamber to administer oxygen, and the ability of substantial resuscitation including open- heart massage, defibrillation, etc. Absolutely amazing. Not cheap, but hey, I am a capitalist so it works for me: they offer a service anyone / everyone is free to partake or not at each person's choice and ability to afford it.
So yeah, our pets get some amazing care / service while a good deal of the planet's human population has zero access to modern medicine at all. Not making any kind of political statement here, merely pointing out what I found to be very surprising (DNA testing for dogs, very advanced medical care / treatment for pets).

(Home) DNA testing for humans is available commercially from a number of sources but a lot of people worry about what the companies are doing with their DNA and if it's being secretly recorded on a big database somewhere that the police etc can access.
The other difference with our Pets as opposed to our human loved ones is that in a worst case scenario we can let them die with dignity.
