If you’ve ever adopted a rescue or mixed-breed dog, figuring out their ancestry from looks alone is nearly impossible, which is why DNA tests have become a go-to resource for many pet owners. But sometimes the results can be truly surprising, even downright confusing.

In a post on Threads, dog owner Jamie Rollins (@jamiekrollins) shared photos of her smiling fluffy pet named Cappy, alongside a screenshot of the dog’s DNA results, with the caption: “My dogs DNA test results arrived today. How is this guy a Pit Bull????”

The test results showed that Cappy was 55.3 percent American Pit Bull Terrier, 39.1 percent “Supermutt,” and 5.6 percent Rottweiler. Rollins added in the comments that the five breeds that are likely part of his “Supermutt” heritage are Pekingese, Poodle, Chihuahua, Dachshund, and German Shepherd.

The United Kennel Club describes the American Pit Bull Terrier as a “medium-sized, solidly built, short-coated dog with smooth, well-defined musculature,” while Cappy, on the other hand, appears to be none of those things.

Throughout the thread, dog owners shared their own pets’ surprising DNA results, with some commenting that pit bulls are known to have a wire-haired recessive gene, which may explain Cappy’s coat.

Embark, which conducted the dog’s DNA test, explains on its website that “many dogs descend from other dogs that were themselves mixed breed. The further in the past your dog has purebred ancestors, the smaller the identical segments matching our reference dataset are. In such cases, the best matches to our reference dataset are so small that they can no longer be confidently assigned to any one particular breed. Instead, these are assigned to the ‘Supermutt’ percentage.”

Regardless of the results, Cappy is definitely 100 percent cute.
