I realise that as a Beardie site all/most doggies in here will be Beardie but I was thinking of getting a DNA test on my rescue pup from Cyprus to see what she had in her. Anyone got any experience of such or know anywhere that might do it please? Thanks. |

I had a friend, Tony, with a rescue who appeared to be staffie. He had her DNA'd and it was amazing the mix in her! Its ages ago now, about 3-4 years and I think Tony's moved because I haven't seen him over our fields for ages (although I don't often go there now). He got Megan, the staffie x, through Dogs Trust - maybe they would know who you could contact? |

It will no doubt be interesting, to say the least, to know what Lucy is "made of"! Although Jacquie may be right about some breeds in Cyprus being unknown in Britain - but does the lab in charge of DNA only have breeds registered in Britain in its system?... |

I'm not sure Nina but I do know that not all UK known breeds are represented on their data bases so it's quite likely. |

I think Basil's DNA is possibly kangaroo crossed with zebedee and a bull (in a china shop)  |

For the rest, yes, I know lots of Beardies who fit the description!!!  |

Oh! Right! You mean Zebedee is the English name of the little mustachioed guy that French children (and adults!) know as "Zébulon"! I loved watching that programme, my favourite character was "Pollux" the dog, who spoke French with an English accent (and who looked very much like a Beardie!!!)...
In this country too, Beardies are very often described as "Zébulons"!  |

here he is called Dougal...and the man in my village who had my late Betsy's brother ( she was half a Beardie ) called him Dougal....nice to know that The Magic Roundabout is known in other countries...it was one of my first introductions to British childrens' television when we first moved here, and I still think one of the best. There is a new " remake "....hunh...I wouldnt dream of watching  |

You're forgetting something - before Zebedee went "boing" he always said : "Time for bed" (said Zebedee) and then went Boooiiiiinnnngggg  |

Good try, Judy, Mary and Mark...
Ahemmm... My dear friends, I am sorry to disappoint you but... "The magic roundabout", or rather "Le manège enchanté", is in fact a French tv production which was first broadcast (in black and white!) here in 1964. It is only much later that it was exported across the Channel, and colour tv had appeared, showing us a red Zebulon! Here he said (rrrrolling his RRRRRs!): "Tourrrrrnicoti Tourrrrrnicoton!" before going boooiiinnng!!!  |
