51% Bichon Frisé. 49% Shih Tzu. 100% Good Boy. Nice to meet you, Lando!
We made a huge mistake 🤯 Okay technically maybe it wasn’t our fault, but we are mind blown this morning! Last year, Jillian and I got our first pup, Lando. We were told he was a Shih-poo and would grow to ~11-14 pounds. By his first birthday in July, little guy was pushing 19-20 pounds, but I attributed that to his rigorous weightlifting routine 💪🏼 and didn’t really care. He’s been the best dog, and we love him more than I knew a person could love a dog. But then we completed an Embark Veterinary DNA test (shoutout Ashley Pochick). We were shocked to learn that not only is Lando NOT a Shih-poo… he actually has NO poodle DNA at all 😬 He’s 51% Bichon Frisé, and 49% Shih Tzu. We also received hundreds of health markers and a couple of notables to be aware of for his health and longevity. We easily provided a report to our Veterinarian ahead of our upcoming check-up, and feel at peace knowing that we’ll be able to cater his care to his specific needs long-term (and that we know his actual breed). 🙌🏼🤣
