OMG precious!!! Love the heterochromia! What breed? Schnauzer?

Thanks! She was found on the streets so we don't know her back story, but had her DNA tested. She came back as:

39.3% Siberian Husky
17.1% Cocker Spaniel
15.2% Bichon Frise
8.8% Pomeranian
5.3% German Shepherd Dog
4.7% Maltese
9.6% Supermutt

Mom was Husky and GSD. Dad was everything else.

Wow that’s a wild mix!! lol supermutt 😂 is that a real distinction the DNA test made?

Basically supermutt is when there is not enough DNA to say for sure what the breed is. But in her case they are guessing parts of that last 9% are most likely Alaskan Malamute and Poodle (Small).
