- He does, is that what it says in there?

- [Woman] No. - [Man] Because it should.

Mutts Get Their DNA Tested

We asked some parents of rescue mutts to guess their breeds.

- A lot of people have their own opinion of what he is.

- I've always said she's got some Beagle in her.

- Maybe some type of pit bull?

- I know he's mostly terrier, or I think he is.

- She's probably a Dachshund mix.

- Maybe a hound or something in there?

- They said that he's a Schnauzer 'cause he has a beard.

- There could be terrier in there,

I wouldn't be surprised. - [Man] Yeah.

Then we gave the pups a DNA test to find out for sure!

- Alright, obtain cheek cells.

Sit!

Oh, that's a good boy!

- Okay, sit still.

She'll just eat it.

- [Voiceover] What's this puppy, what is this?

Let me see your mouth.

- There we go buddy.

- Yeah, rah rah rah!

2 Weeks Later

- See!

Chihuahua, Miniature Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, what!

- Contragulations, he's an American Staff.

- [Voiceover] Oh, he's--

- He's the king dog!

- You're the king of the pit bulls!

- Bell is Chihuahua, American Staffordshire Terrier,

and Cocker Spaniel.

- That is the weirdest combination.

You don't look like any of those things.

- You're a weirdo.

- How crazy, oh, Jim!

That explains so much.

- So one of her parents was Chihuahua,

Staffordshire Terrier, and the other one was

Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel-- - [Man] Mix.

- Unknown third breed mix.

And there's no Dachshund in her at all.

- [Man] No.

- So he's all American Staff.

- Like his parents.

And grandparents, and then this little ink blot

on his resume. - [Man] Seriously.

That is very cool.

When you were adopting Jimi, were you thinking about breed at all?

- Black dogs aren't usually adopted

but he was really cute, I loved him

and I wanted him so I just got him.

I love him, like that's my best friend.

- Someone was just like,

I found this dog on the street,

who wants to take it? - [Man] Yeah.

- And then we were like, oh, we'll take her.

- We had talked about a lot of the discrimination against pit bulls.

You know, we weren't gonna go buy a dog

or even look for a pure pit bull,

it was more just about rescuing

and more just about the dog's personality.

- I don't think a breed of a dog would ever make or break an adoption for me. - [Man] No

- It doesn't matter what breed it is,

it's just love.
