Still No Beagle

Lola Belle was listed as a “Beagle Mix”. We thought she might have some sort of terrier lurking in there (TW was taunting me with Jack Russell because she knows I’m not a fan of the Jack. She also taunted me with the idea that there was chihuahua, too. Not a fan of those.)

Of course we sent in her DNA test and I’ve checked the website pretty much every day to see the progress of the test — except today. I hadn’t had time to check. Just as I was about to take a really important MUST CONCENTRATE phone call, the results email came in (eight days early!) and I was one minute late to my call because I could not manage to dial my passcode properly, lol. For my own dedicated conference call line. Yea. I was distracted.

I made it through my call (thanks, Logan) and yelled for TW to check her email because I was forwarding the results to her, too.

We don’t have another poodle!

We also don’t have much of a beagle (though she has more beagle in her than Skeeter Bess does.)

We have… insert drumroll…

A Bloodhound Miniature Schnauzer Weimaraner mix.

One parent was a Bloodhound, Weimaraner, something else mix and the other parent was a Miniature Schnauzer something else mix.

No pure bloodlines for Lola Belle, the showgirl circus dog.

When digging deeper into what the “something else” mixes might have been, here are the breeds (in order) that might have contributed:

Bouvier des Flandres
Beagle
Afghan Hound
Irish Terrier
Siberian Husky

I’m not seeing the Husky at all. Not even a little. And the Bouvier des Flandres? Huh. Interesting, though she doesn’t seem like much of a herding dog to me. Maybe we’ll have to get HER a dog and see if she tries to herd it?

Now I need the folks who adopted her puppies to contact us so we can tell them their mom is a Bloodhound Miniature Schnauzer Weimaraner mix. (that’s a mouthful… BMSW? That looks kind of kinky, doesn’t it?)
