A woman has caused a stir online after sharing the story of her odd-looking dog, as she had her viewers guess what kind of mix of breeds she was.
If you ever visit a dog shelter, you might noticed that a lot of the dogs available are mixed breeds, as they’re usually seen as less ‘worthy’ or less valuable for some dog owners. However, one woman decided to take a change on a foster pup with behavioural issues, who soon got a permanent spot in her family.
The dog owner, named Alex, has now made a video on TikTok as she urged people to guess what kind of mix of breeds the pooch named Ember was, as she went on to explain her weird personality traits that matches her ‘weird’ looks.
“One of my dogs doesn’t look like a dog,” Alex said at the start of one of her videos, explaining that instead, the dog in question looks like a child’s drawing of a dog by memory before coming to life.
She went on to explain some weird details about her dog, Ember, that fits along with her weird looks, including learning to puke on command. Alex then said the dog was on a list to be put down as a puppy due to her bad behaviour.
“They asked me to take her,” Alex said. “She was about, I think, 12-14 weeks, extreamely fearful, would bite anything and everything.
She went on to explain that Ember had gone through a long list of foster homes, but that no one wanted to handle her. She then came to Alex’s home as they took her over as foster parents for a year until she decided to keep her, as they couldn’t find a suitable home for her that could meet her needs.
Alex then went on to explain other odd behaviours of the dog, including howling with her poo in her mouth, and counting the steps when someone walks upstairs, and only coming with them when she knew they were upstairs.
“So just know, when you look at her, that’s also what’s inside of her noggin. Please enjoy this random thing that somebody decided to breed,” Alex said, before showing a photo of her all black dog, with legs being half of her height, tiny waist, and tongue that was hanging out to the side of her mouth.
Alex then went on to have her viewers guess can kind of breeds she were, before revealing the results a few days later.
While some of the most popular breed suggestions were Border Collie, Italian Greyhounds, and Chihuahua, Alex went on to reveal that all of these suggestions were wrong.
Alex said that she’d done a DNA test on Ember, which had shared the different breeds she was mixed with, and the list was longer than she’d expected. Starting at the bottom of the list, Alex revealed that Ember is 2% Samoyed, 2% English Springer Spaniel, and 3% Labrador Retriever, as well as 6% Chow Chow, and 8% German Shepherd.
“I didn’t see anyone guess this one, it may have gotten lost, but we do have 11% of American Eskimo,” she revealed, before adding that Ember was also 12% Siberian Husky, and 22% Doberman.
“Her top breed, that only a few people guessed, 34% Brittany,” Alex revealed.
People couldn’t believe what they were hearing, as many took to the comments to share their amazement.
“What breed is she? Yes lol,” one person jokingly said, while another person wrote: “A BRITTANY??! I would’ve never guessed that!”
Someone else shared: “Genetics are crazy because my dog is almost 40% Chihuahua but weighs 30lbs lol.”
