My dog is so possessive of her bone that she even sleeps with it!🦴🐶

She’s nearly 7 months old, 24 lbs and underweight/urine stained from living in her crate for who knows how long. She has heterochromia and both front and back dew claws.

Our sweet boy had a horrible past. We adopted him almost a year ago. The results said 11, we were thinking he was 7 or 8. Does severe stress impact DNA tests? This is our sweet and perfect boy, mr. mellow we call him.

This is Ms. Luna Latte, roughly 32-34lbs, "lab mix" white acts like a lab, Chihuahua and pit all at the same time. What do you guys think she could be? We will be running a DNA test on her soon.

Hallo zusammen!
Das ist Lio! Er ist ungefähr 4 Monate alt.
Wir fragen uns schon länger, welche Rassen in ihm stecken könnten und wie groß und schwer er später einmal wird.
Er ist sehr offen, freundlich und neugierig.

Was denkt ihr, welche Rassen könnten bei ihm mitgemischt haben? Wir freuen uns über eure Einschätzungen!

Every dog is a little weird. Befriending the neighbor’s 12-foot Halloween skeleton. Only pooping on manhole covers (ask us how we know). Whatever your dog’s thing is, we want to hear about it.

Hi everyone!

I just got my Embark results back for my beautiful 5-month old female “terrier mix”. She’s 41.6% Australian Cattle Dog 21.9% Chihuahua, 10.9% American Pit Bull Terrier, 10.5% Supermutt, 9.3% German Shepard, and 5.9% Shih Tzu. My whole life, I’ve grown up with Labs and Golden Retrievers, so I want to be sure I’m setting her up for success. Given these results, is there anything I should be doing to meet her breed needs, tips for raising her based on her top two breeds, or any specifics I should know/expect?

I’d love to hear your guys’ thoughts!

This is Cooper! He's 14 years old and has always been a mystery dog. I swabbed him with an Embark test tonight to send off in the morning; really hoping I did it right because the stubborn little goober didn't want any part of it lol

We have always thought Chow mix of some sort with his purple-y tongue, the orange color, undercoat/crazy shedding, and he's very independent by nature. I have also considered Shiba Inu as well but I think he's bigger than they typically get (about 55 lbs).

I posted him on another sub before I got my test and got some interesting guesses, so wondering what you all think before the results come back (if I did it right and get any good results at least)

11 days in Extraction, then changed to Genotyping at 8:31 pm then Analysis at 8:36 pm then moved back to Genotyping 10 minutes later? What the heck

hi!! I’ve had to quit all my hobbies so I have time to refresh the embark page 20 times a day and see where the status is lol. any guesses in the meantime? I’m thinking chocolate lab and hound. adopted in August at the local animal control and said to be a “chocolate/golden mix” by previous owner at surrender.

current timeline:

9/28 activate test

9/30 headed to the lab

10/6 received at lab, processing

10/7 extracted

10/15 genotyping…leaving me in suspense!

This is Vez. He’s my partner’s daughter’s doggo. Got him as a puppy in 2020. Were told at time of adoption he was corgi / rat terrier. He’s such a smart dumb boy. Super friendly and loves to be outside. Will jump all over you and give a Vezzy hug when you first come in the door, but quickly loses interest and would like to be let outside to bark at all the people who shouldn’t be walking in their own yards, or be outside for any reason.

He loves hiking and shares the trails with his heeler brother Ollie.

We are super excited to see what his DNA says. Definitely think Corgi, but I’ve seen a bunch of other dogs on here with a little dwarfism gene that are corgi-like, but 0% corgi. So…..We. Shall. Se.

Never would’ve thought so much chihuahua! I feel like he gets most of his looks from the American Eskimo!!
