Artie

Mixed Ancestry

“Legend says that Artie came from the Land of Derps and was known as the Great Lanky Dragon of the East. The ruler of floppy noodles and fluffer booties; history betrayed her as "quite the catch" and many believe that suitors would line up for miles to meet her. Though much of her history was lost in the Fire of 1746...rare documents led me to discover her at a shelter in Canton, Ohio. Since then, I have been creating an archive of the life of Artie, which can be found through further inquiry.”

Haplogroup E is a very rare maternal line, present primarily in Northern breed dogs and dogs with some level of recent gray wolf ancestry.

The Paternal Haplotype reveals a dog’s deep ancestral lineage, stretching back thousands of years to the original domestication of dogs.

Are you looking for information on the breeds that Artie inherited from her mom and dad? Check out her breed breakdown and family tree.

Paternal Haplotype is determined by looking at a dog’s Y-chromosome—but not all dogs have Y-chromosomes!

Why can’t we show Paternal Haplotype results for female dogs?

All dogs have two sex chromosomes. Female dogs have two X-chromosomes (XX) and male dogs have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome (XY). When having offspring, female (XX) dogs always pass an X-chromosome to their puppy. Male (XY) dogs can pass either an X or a Y-chromosome—if the puppy receives an X-chromosome from its father then it will be a female (XX) puppy and if it receives a Y-chromosome then it will be a male (XY) puppy. As you can see, Y-chromosomes are passed down from a male dog only to its male offspring.

Since Artie is a female (XX) dog, she has no Y-chromosome for us to analyze and determine a paternal haplotype.
