As his Instagram handle suggests, Bernyk looks like a Yellow Labrador or Golden Retriever. Are you surprised to find out that, genetically, he is 50% Poodle? So are we!
Bernyk’s dominant breed is 50.0% Poodle, followed by 39.6% Labrador Retriever and 10.4% Golden Retriever. That means that one of his parents is a Poodle and the other is a mixed breed Labrador/Golden Retriever. The overwhelming majority of online guesses picked up on the Golden Retriever in Bernyk, and a few of you guessed Labrador Retriever as well, but Poodle was the biggest surprise!
While Bernyk doesn’t look much like a Poodle at first glance, you can spot clues about his Poodle heritage if you look closely.
