We received the results of Portia's DNA test much sooner than we expected so we've decided to complete the contest and announce a winner! We collected $126.50 in guesses and donations at $1 a guess. Fryeburg Motors matched that sum and sent a check for $253 to Rescue Charlie's Friends, where we adopted Portia. So, what breed is Portia? In short, a mutt! Her DNA breaks down as:
30.2% Supermutt which is less than 5% of the following breeds:
Great Pyrenees
Australian Cattle Dog
German Shepherd
Rottweiler
Dachshund
She's also:
21.9% Labrador Retriever
15.9% American Pit Bull
13.3% Golden Retriever
7.9% Catahoula Leopard Dog
5.5% Chow Chow
5.3% Siberian Husky
Erin created these custom embroidered shirts featuring Portia, just for the contest and donated by "Sew What, Michelle" for the winners.
And the winner who came closest to guessing Portia's Breed is...

We thank everyone who participated and hope you had fun meeting Portia who, regardless of her breed, is a well loved and friendly pup! If you haven't met her, stop by and say hello.
