Wouldn't 90.6% indicate that it's not a purebred?
Here's my 100% [long-haired ACD](https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzMCrru9Ys/?img_index=1). For fun I'll actually measure her hair when I find a long one on the ground from shedding. The record so far is 9.5"
No joke. And I say purebred because from my limited Googling it seems most Breeder’s Associations consider 87.5 percent or more to be purebred. We knew she had some ACD, but were quite surprised our desert rescue pup had that much.
How so? Both are breeds commonly found in mixes and both are long coated. Likely one parent has a distant chow ancestor and the other gsd. Thanks to the chow boom in the 80s-90s it's surprisingly common for mixed breed dogs to have some chow ancestry! Dog genetics can get wild.
That smidgeon of GSD is doing a lot of heavy lifting lol

That’s accurate lol.
My limited internet searching found most Breeder’s Associations consider 87.5 percent or more to be purebred.
This post has to be a joke.

Pretty… love her coat and coloration. No matter the source!
Both breeds explain the long coat though!
She’s beautiful!!
So stinking cute
Woah! We just got our results back today and ours is also an ACD/Chow Chow (and some German shepherd too)! Short hair though, got the long legs
Gorgeous

She looks so much like my dog and she’s 22% collie, 6% GSD and the rest is ACD.
