The Labrador Retriever can trace its roots to the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The breed dates back to at
least the seventeenth century when they were known as the Lesser Newfoundland. The breed is believed to
have descended from the extinct St. Johns Water Dog which was a cross between native water dogs and the
Newfoundland. Labrador Retrievers were initially trained to retrieve fishing nets from the cold waters of the
North Atlantic. Fisherman brought them to England in the nineteenth century where they were lauded for their
swimming, retrieving and hunting skills. The Earl of Malmesbury is believed to have coined the name Labrador
in order to differentiate them from their Newfoundland ancestors. During the 1800s, a heavy dog tax in Canada
and quarantine laws in Britain drastically cut the number of Labradors in the U.K., but a good breeding program
replenished the stock. Labrador Retrievers were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1917.
The Labrador Retriever comes in solid black, chocolate, and yellow. The yellow varies from a pale cream to
a rich red fox color. Some Labradors also have white chest blazes. The Dudley variant is where the nose is
pink, though this is quite rare. Non-AKC registries sometimes recognize a Silver Variant though this may be
classed as chocolate by the AKC.

The Basenji breed are descendants of the wild dogs of ancient India. It is possible that the breed was developed
in Egypt as companion dogs during the time of the Pharaohs. Drawings found in Egyptian tombs suggest that
the Basenji dates back at least five thousand years. The Basenji is a small, lightly-built, short-backed dog,
which was appreciated for its ability to hunt vermin. The Basenji has also gained a reputation as an excellent
guarding, hunting and retrieving dog. Another unique trait of the Basenji is that they do not bark; although
they do make other dog sounds, such as whining, whimpering and growling. The breed was discovered in the
late nineteenth century by western explorers who took them back to England. In 1936 the Basenji produced
descendants that were called the Congo Terriers and in 1937 they were introduced into the United States
by English breeders. From that point on, the breeds numbers continued to increase. The American Kennel
Club officially recognized the Basenji in 1943.
The Basenji coat varies between chestnut red, pure black, both, or brindle (black with red stripes). The breed
is generally particolor with white markings across the chest, feet, and tail. The black mask or black saddle
are also frequently seen traits in this breed.

The Keeshond, a breed related to the Samoyed, Chow Chow, Norwegian Elkhound and Finnish Spitz, was bred
sometime between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to watch over the homestead and hunt wildlife
for its master. The breed was well known in the Netherlands by the eighteenth century, and was commonly
employed as a river boat and barge watch dog, as well as a companion pet. In Germany the Keeshond is known
as Wolfspitz; in France as the Chiens Loup; in Italy as the Lupini; and in Holland as the Keeshonden. The
official name given to the breed from the English Breed Club was Keeshond. The Keeshond found in the United
States are descendants of British breeding. In 1929, Carl Hinderer of Baltimore, Maryland bred the first litter
of Keeshonds in America. The Keeshond was then registered by the American Kennel Club in 1930, and in
1935 the Keeshond Club of America was formed.
The Keeshond is a mixture of gray, black and cream with black banded hairs creating the wolfish shading.
The gray may be different shades from silver to wolfgray, and the undercoat may be pale gray or cream. Traits
such as a black mask or "spectacles" of color around the eyes are frequently visible in this breed.

Thank you for using Wisdom Panel Insights to uncover the story of your
dogs ancestry!
Congratulations on taking the steps to learn about Patchs ancestry and to understand
what breeds are in your mixed breed dog using Wisdom Panel Insights! Knowing your
dogs breeds is more than a novelty - it is a medical necessity. Each breed in your poochs
genetic paw print has unique health concerns you should know about so that you can
provide a lifetime of excellent care.
We recommend discussing your dogs ancestry report with your veterinarian, as he or she can help you use your
Wisdom Panel Insights report to help better care for Patch. The next time you visit your veterinarian, consider asking
these questions in addition to any you come up with on your own:
Are there any specific issues that may be relevant to my dogs well-being?
Are there any special techniques that may help in training a dog with this particular mix?
Are there any particular dietary considerations to bear in mind for a dog like mine?

breeds, or a combination of breeds in the database, related to the breeds in
your pets history.
Many countries and provinces have breed-specific ordinances and laws that may

by regulatory or animal control officials to determine whether a particular breed
is legislated or banned in a particular country or province. Nor is Wisdom Panel
