Meet Marley.
A Terrier-forward mix with a more typical background, a devoted temperament, and 2 carrier markers worth knowing about.
Who is Marley?
The breed mix, the coat, and the temperament their genes lean toward.
Breed mix
About 82% Terrier, across 3 varieties, with other breeds rounding out the mix.
What that mix tends to mean day to day
A dapper, tuxedoed charmer with big eyes and an even bigger sense of fun.

Coat
Black and white, non-merle, full pigment.
- Base colour
- Black and white
- Pattern
- Piebald / Irish-spotting
- Dilution
- None (full pigment)
- White markings
- Minor white markings possible
- Merle
- Non-merle
MC1R (E) and ASIP (A) are N-masked in canFam4; a commercial coat test is recommended for those.
Pigment-lightening modifier
IRF4 change may lighten pigment (links to the Copy Number panel).
Show the science
- E (MC1R) e/?: N-masked in canFam4; a commercial coat test resolves this best.
- K (CBD103) ky/ky: Allows the A-locus pattern to show.
- A (ASIP) ay/?: Sable possible.
- B (TYRP1) B: Black eumelanin, not brown.
- D (MLPH) D: Full pigment, not dilute.
- M (PMEL) m: Non-merle.

Wellness
Markers and lineage, framed as things to know, never a diagnosis.
Known markers
We screened 479 sites. 357 came back clear. The markers worth knowing about are below.
What this means
A cosmetic or physical-trait marker, not a health condition.

Genetic diversity
More diverse than about 5% of dogs.
Inbreeding coefficient 33.5% versus a panel median of 23.8% (1,929 dogs). Lower is a more diverse, more outbred background.

The deep science
The heavy genomics, summarized calmly. Open any of them for the full readout.
ChromosomesAll balanced
What this means: we checked that every chromosome is present in the normal amount, nothing extra, nothing missing. Everything came back balanced, which is what you want to see.
How we measured it: read depth normalised per 1 Mb window across every chromosome, mean ratio 0.999 (1.0 is a normal two-copy result), with 0 windows low and 0 high across 124 windows.
Copy numberNo copy-number changes detected
What this means: we looked for stretches of DNA that are duplicated or missing compared with other dogs. Nothing notable stood out.
How we measured it: 4-dog reference panel aligned to canFam4. A loss is confirmed when only this dog is depleted.
Rare variants2,497 high-impact catalogued
What this means:these are rare spellings in your dog's DNA that are uncommon across the wider dog population. We catalogue them for completeness. Most are harmless, and none of this is a diagnosis.
| Gene | Effect | Zygosity | Pop. freq |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGF2BP2 | Splice acceptor | hom | 0.26% |
| PLEKHG5 | Stop gained | hom | 0.9% |
| ADGRV1 | Splice donor | het | 1.4% |
How we measured it: Imputation against the Dog10K panel (29M SNPs, 1,929 dogs) with functional effect annotation.

What that mix tends to mean day to day
A muscular, people-loving companion famous in Britain as a devoted family dog.
- People person. Staffies tend to adore humans of all sizes and greet them with full-body enthusiasm.
- Playful powerhouse. They usually love a vigorous game and put their whole heart into playtime.
- Soft with the family. Behind the muscle is typically a cuddly dog who wants to be close to their people.
A bold little hound with a big personality and a nose for adventure.
- Brave beyond size. Bred to face badgers underground, Doxies often carry themselves like much bigger dogs.
- Dedicated digger. Tunneling instincts run deep, so blankets, gardens, and couch cushions may get excavated.
- Alert announcer. Many Dachshunds take doorbell duty seriously and announce visitors with gusto.
A whip-smart herding dog who is happiest with a job, a yard, and a busy family.
- Needs a job. Aussies tend to invent their own work if you do not provide it, so puzzle toys and training help.
- Herding radar. Circling and gently steering kids, dogs, and even vacuum cleaners is classic Aussie behavior.
- Devoted teammate. They usually bond closely with their people and love learning new skills together.
A lion-maned, blue-tongued companion with a calm, cat-like independence.
- Blue-black tongue. The distinctive tongue color is a Chow trademark almost no other breed shares.
- Dignified reserve. Chows tend to be aloof with strangers and quietly loyal to their own people.
- Tidy homebody. They are usually clean, quiet, and content with moderate exercise.
These describe breed tendencies. Every dog is an individual, so yours may differ.
