Before I dig into this post, a note: I bought Penny’s DNA test myself. Years ago, I was provided DNA tests for Lucas and Cooper for free, so I chose the same company to purchase this one.

Are DNA tests worth the price tag?
That’s the question, isn’t it? They’re pricey, sure, but do they give good information?
In today’s post, I’m going to share our experiences, which started MANY years ago when I tried an early-generation DNA test with Lucas, then another a few years later with Cooper, and now, after more than a decade, another test with Penny.
This is Penny:
And here’s one from a photoshoot we did (I think this one might be my bio pic?) so you can see her relative size and her body shape:
And here’s one more for a different perspective that better shows the speckling on her hind end:
Okay, so hopefully those three pics give you a sense of Penny’s body shape. A few other key points about her physical and behavioral characteristics:
Penny was born without a fully formed right eye (called “microphthalmia”).
She was also born deaf.
Penny came to us through a rescue after having been pulled from an animal hoarding situation.
She is sweet, gentle, and friendly. She is genuinely the absolute most precious ever.
Penny LOVES to dig. She digs holes around the yard, and she digs holes in our sheets (sigh), in particular when she tries to bury a chew.
She’s four years old and weighs about 45 pounds.
Do you have any guesses of Penny’s DNA? I’ll share the results
