Bentley
We used my dog Bentley as an example. We did some research and thought Bentley could be a mix of the following breeds: German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman, and Husky.
I also shared how some people have their dog's DNA tested to find out! Here is my dog Bentley. I swabbed Bentley's cheeks and sent them off to the lab! We ANXIOUSLY awaited for the results.
