“Hi! I am Bentley! Formerly known as Panchito. I was found in Puerto Rico with my mom and sister eating out of a trash can as a puppy. I weighed 4 pounds and was afraid of everything! I now live in PA with my parents and am a spoiled, only child. My favorite things to do: go for rides in the car to home depot and home goods, snuggle with my heated blanky, whip my toys around and chase lights.”

A1b

Bentley’s Haplogroup

This female lineage was very likely one of the original lineages in the wolves that were first domesticated into dogs in Central Asia about 15,000 years ago. Since then, the lineage has been very successful and travelled the globe! Dogs from this group are found in ancient Bronze Age fossils in the Middle East and southern Europe. By the end of the Bronze Age, it became exceedingly common in Europe. These dogs later became many of the dogs that started some of today's most popular breeds, like German Shepherds, Pugs, Whippets, English Sheepdogs and Miniature Schnauzers. During the period of European colonization, the lineage became even more widespread as European dogs followed their owners to far-flung places like South America and Oceania. It's now found in many popular breeds as well as village dogs across the world!

A410

Bentley’s Haplotype

Part of the A1b haplogroup, the A410 haplotype occurs most commonly in Cimarron Uruguayos and Small Poodles.

A1b is the most common haplogroup found in German Shepherds.

A1b

Bentley’s Haplogroup

For most of dog history, this haplogroup was probably quite rare. However, a couple hundred years ago it seems to have found its way into a prized male guard dog in Europe who had many offspring, including the ancestors of many European guard breeds such as Doberman Pinchers, St. Bernards, and Great Danes. Despite being rare, many of the most imposing dogs on Earth have it; strangely, so do many Pomeranians! Perhaps this explains why some Poms are so tough, acting like they're ten times their actual size! This lineage is most commonly found in working dogs, in particular guard dogs. With origins in Europe, it spread widely across other regions as Europeans took their dogs across the world.

Ha.44

Bentley’s Haplotype

Part of the A1b haplogroup, this haplotype occurs primarily in Poodles and Belgian Sheepdogs.

Great Danes and Pomeranians have this in common!
