    The most fascinating part of this to me is that roughly 88% of mixed breed dogs passed the test. So if you’re just looking for a great dog, a mixed breed might actually have a better chance than a purebred!

    Unless you’re getting a lab. I’ve never met a lab that wasn’t the bestest doggo ever lol

      Without knowing what types of mixes were in the sample I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions. Poodle and lab mixes are some of the most popular mixed-breed dogs.

      The last two labs Ive had have been a bust. One was secretly half pit bull and is quite dangerous. The other one, I dont even know what was wrong with her. If there is such a thing as dog autism she probably had that. If I ever did get a purebred again it would have to be something small enough to be safely controlled if it decides that it suddenly needs to kill everyone in the room or run in circles around the living room and scream for half an hour. Ive never had a mutt with a serious behavior problem in my life.
