**The World Dog Awards: Maddie Wins Puppy of the Year**

I am extremely excited to announce that my new puppy, Maddie, has won the World Dog Awards for Puppy of the Year. We recently attended the dog awards and I'm thrilled to share the news with all of you. As you may know, we've been asking our followers to vote for Maddie, and it's amazing to see how much support he received.

**The Dog DNA Test**

We took a DNA test to determine what breed Maddie is. Our dad did the test while I was home for Christmas. We swabbed the inside of Maddie's mouth with a little swab, put it in a kit, and sent it off to the lab. The test results revealed that Maddie is not what we thought he was. Instead of being a purebred dog, Maddie is a mixed breed.

**What Breed is Maddie?**

After analyzing the DNA test results, our veterinarian told us that Maddie's parents are miniature poodles and Chihuahuas. This means that Maddie has two Chihuahua grandparents on his mother's side and two miniature poodle grandparents on his father's side. We also discovered that Maddie's great-grandparents were a mix of miniature poodles and another breed, which we're still trying to identify.

**Maddie's Heritage**

It turns out that Maddie has a fascinating heritage. His ancestors are a mix of breeds, including the Miniature Poodle, Chihuahua, Lassa Abso (which I'm still learning how to pronounce!), and Beon (another breed we're not entirely sure about). This makes Maddie's ancestry quite unique and complex.

**Challenges and Triumphs**

Getting Maddie was a challenge, especially when he first came home. He had various allergies that required frequent vet visits and lots of time spent trying to treat them. However, with patience, love, and care, Maddie has grown into a beautiful and healthy dog. We've also learned to travel and work together as a team to ensure his needs are met.

**Thank You to Our Supporters**

I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have supported us on this journey. Your encouragement and enthusiasm mean the world to me, especially when it comes to sharing news about Maddie's adventures with you. We're excited to share more updates about Maddie in the coming year and can't wait for you to meet him in person.
