Local Mutt Gets National Press
Viewers of City Tails on City Cable are familiar with a regular segment in which host Rob Auffrey asks people around the city to guess a local mutt's breed background.
Auffrey's own mixed-breed dog, Max, was one of three mutts featured in an article on breed-identification DNA testing online on the Dog Channel.
Max had two DNA tests: The Canine Heritage XL Breed Test, which which detects 108 breeds and is conducted by a painless cheek swab, and the Wisdom Panel MX Mixed Breed Analysis test, which detects 134 breeds and requires a simple blood test by a participating vet.
What breeds are in Max?
a) Samoyed, Alaskan Malamute, Greyhound
b) Pomeranian, Keeshond, Poodle
c) Dachshund, Miniature Schnauzer
d) English Bulldog, German Pinscher, Harrier
