She's so cute! One quick tip to learn about mutts is that it's a good idea to get a DNA test to figure out what breeds are in her. This is because some dog breeds cannot have certain foods/meds. Just to be on the safe side!

Canine Dna tests are so wrong they're hilarious

They're wrong?
I was hoping to get a DNA test to see what's in Maple (because now we're thinking she's a Doxerman. Doxie/Doberman) but if they're wrong I won't waste my money. How wrong are they?

Huh, that's odd. Lola did that to my rabbits as well.
Right before she attempted to consume them. That's
not a behavior you want to see in a dog, especially a
LGD.

Yeah, if you're concerned about things like multi-drug sensitivity, your best bet is going to be testing for that specific gene. DNA tests are for fun, not serious medical purposes.

I believe the test is only $60. I would just do the test, because if she doesn't have the sensitivity, it could make medicating her easier. It would also be good to have proof in vet files as to what her results were. That's just me, though.

Just get her tested for issues instead of a DNA test thatd tell you nothing. They can M1R1 gene test, or whatever its called, and they can vWD test. I cant think of any other sensitivity.
Honey, it's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe
