Roxy is being DNA tested and will be live on Scottish TV on Monday

Had been swithering for a while about having Roxy DNA tested and just at around that time I saw that a Scottish tea time television programme was looking for a couple of crossbreed dogs to DNA test. Thought it would be a good opportunity seeing as I was thinking about getting it done anyway.

I put Roxy forward and she was chosen. We did the swab tests and sent them away a couple of weeks ago.

Got a phonecall a couple of nights ago to tell that the results would in by Friday at the latest.

Roxy and I will be going on to the live show on Monday for the results.

We did some filming on Thursday past in the hope they would be able to get some footage of some of her behaviours. They did. They got her playing with her ball, meeting other dogs, doing some tricks, walking on a lead and......barking. The poor cameraman's ears! I should've gave him a couple of paracetamols beforehand!

Anyway, I'm a bit sceptical about this test, but seeing as I wasn't wasting any money on it, I thought it was a good idea! I admit that I am nervous though. I don't know why as I'll love her just as much as I do now, it won't change anything!

So, on Monday, we shall hopefully learn what breeds are in Roxy!

Those of you in Scotland will be able to watch us on STV's The Hour at 5pm on Monday, if you want to. If not in Scotland, the show will be available online later that night.

Oh how fab - I won't see it of course as I'm too far South but will eagerly wait for news!!!

Someone on another site just had their cross-breed DNA'd and it came back spot-on! They already knew he was Lab x Boxer, and that's what the test proved.
