Neit is a...

According to the BioPet vet lab, via a DNA breed identification, Neit is a...

Rottweiler
and
German Shepherd

Neit has anywhere between 37-74% of his DNA from a Rottweiler, and somewhere between 20-36% of his DNA from a German Shepherd or German Shepherd lineage. This probably means that one of Neit's parents was a Rottweiler, and the other was probably some short of Shepherd mix. Is that what you were expecting?

Rottweiler: Calm and reliable, devoted to their family, the Rottweiler is extremely protective. They must be firmly trained or may become overly aggresive. They are natural guard dogs. They are highly intelligent and hard working. They can be aggressive toward other dogs.

German Shepherd: The German Shepherd dog is intelligent and eager to please. They are extremely loyal and protective of their families, and suspicious of strangers, especially in the company of their masters. They are devoted and fearless. They have a high learning ability and are extremely responsive to training. If not properly socialized at an early age, they can be unruly due to a lack of self-confidence. If timid, they may be prone to fear biting.

In summary,

Thanks to the Smith's for the DNA kit, which was a super cool Christmas present!
