Alex and I ran into a neighbor yesterday,
who of course asked me, "What kind of dog is she?"
I gave my standard reply – "Valencia County Terrier."
However, in a few weeks, I should have a better answer
because today I'm mailing Alex's DNA to the lab.
Since probably half the dogs in Valencia County, New Mexico, are pitbulls
and the other half are Chihuahuas, logic says Alex must be half of each.
We'll see. My money is on a little bit of Chihuahua, maybe some Jack Russell Terrier,
a smidgen of pitbull mixed in with some generic hound dog,
and I won't rule out a bit of Boxer.

On the left, Alex at 11 weeks and 10 pounds; on the right, Alex at 23 weeks and 19.8 pounds.
On the left, me at 3,312 weeks and no way would I ever publish my weight.
Same goes for on the right.
(this calculator is so useful)
p.s. If you weren't around in November 2010 for Smooch's DNA test results, here's a link.
