Parker the Australian Shepherd Mix from Wisconsin

My name is Parker and I'm a handsome Australian Shepherd mix. My Mommy and Daddy found me on Petfinder and drove halfway across the state to come meet me. It was love at first sight! I am lucky they adopted me, because they let me do all sorts of fun stuff like go swimming and off-roading with them. Everywhere I go, I get lots of attention and compliments. I think it's my speckled snout. I also have a patch of fur on my back that is longer than the rest of my fur, and they call it my toupee.

Our Dog Punky's DNA Test Results

I mentioned that we were eagerly awaiting the results of Punky and Rascal's Canine Heritage Breed Tests, and I'm happy to report that Punky's are in!

First of all, we were completely shocked. Probably just as shocked as Pete's parents. For 10 years, Punky's whole life, we've been calling her a Lab mix. But she's not a Lab at all!

It turns out that Punky is a serious mutt. No breeds came up as primary or secondary for her, but the test did show German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Setter.

Now we're seeing her in a totally new light. This has been such a fun, exciting process. We were literally racing to the mailbox every day to check for the results (and we still are, for Rascal's). We have already said that every time we get a new dog for the rest of our lives, we're having it DNA tested. If you've been thinking about getting your dog tested, but you're not sure, the website Dog-DNA.com will answer all of your questions. And when you do get your luvmutt tested, tell us about it!

Brin the Shepherd Mix Puppy from Missouri

Hi! My name is Brin, also known as the Holy Terror. I'm a German Shepherd mix (with what, no one knows). Daddy spotted me at the shelter, and we bonded immediately. But Mommy wasn't so sure about me. She walked away to look at other puppies. So I barked my objection! She came right back. I am very affectionate and energetic. I love to run with my parents. And where we live in Columbia, MO, there are lots of fun trails to run on.

Bear the Shepherd Mix from Georgia...Our 300th luvmutt!

Hi, my name is Bear and I'm a shepherd mix from the northwest suburbs of Atlanta. I live with my mom, dad, and feline older brother. My parents first laid eyes on me during a routine trip to PetSmart to buy kitty treats for His Highness. Dad wanted to take me home instantly, but Mom took some convincing. Once she heard my sob story (I was rescued from a kill shelter at the last minute), I was on my way home with them. These days, I'm a giant, lovable lap dog. I'm a big guy with a fierce bark, but all the neighborhood kids know I'm a big softy.

Editor's note: We are thrilled to have Bear as the 300th luvmutt to be featured on our site. A big thanks to all of our visitors and supporters for making luvmutt.com a giant showcase of adorable mutts!

Ukie the Shepherd/Boxer Mix from New York State

Hi there! My name is Ukie and I'm a shepherd/boxer mix from Rochester, NY. I was conceived when a shepherd (my mom) that my human parents brought home from a shelter mated with their boxer (my dad). They were planning to have Mom spayed, but they didn't move fast enough. They were great humans, though, and they kept all 6 of us littermates. But sadly, the nice people died and I bounced from home to home for awhile. Now I'm 9 years old and I just moved to my new forever home last week! I'm so happy!
