Any guesses?

A few weeks ago I ordered a DNA test for Silas. It came in the mail rather quickly and I promptly completed what I had to do and sent it back. All I needed to do was fill out some information, register my kit online, and swab Silas' gums and cheeks. The last part was much harder than I had anticipated, in the instructional videos the dogs always sit very still and let the people swab with no problem at all, Silas kept trying to eat the swab and didn't really appreciate me rubbing it on his gums and cheeks. It was a battle and one I was determined to win, in the end I didn't so much as win as we just reached a compromise; if he let me swab I would stop sitting in him. I sent it in and prayed I had collected enough DNA. Two weeks later (today) I got my results! I am going to post his results either late tonight or tomorrow morning but first I wanted to give you a chance to pick out your breed guesses.

Here are my guesses:
Golden Retriever-This is what they told us when we got him
German Shepherd- This is what they told us when we got him
Pointer-Sometimes he looks like he is trying to point
Kookier Hound-He has the wispy ear hair and tail that this breed has
Leonberger-Our trainer thought that is what he was when she first met him and is always commenting on how he looks like a mini version of one
Chow-People at the pet store have guessed this
