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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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)

I adopted Bailey from the shelter 2 weeks ago at 12 weeks old. She was listed as a pit mix and I think I’m seeing some boxer possibly? I can’t wait for her results! Any guesses?

We got him almost a month ago, he's 6 months now and 52.5 lbs The shelter he came from in TN labeled him a Pyr/lab mix, most probably there's something else maybe pit? He's the sweetest pup, stubborn but sweet lol, I'd love to hear your guesses!

A wild monster.

Was told the dog was a Malinois and this is what came back.
These breeds are all working dog breeds. I was just wondering is this a thing? Would somebody purposely breed the combination?
Or could the company possibly have this wrong somehow? I don’t get it. Only four breeds in the dog and that’s what they are and almost evenly distributed.

Adopted this rescue three weeks ago and she is a joy. Name: Farrah. Full name: Farrah Fawcett. She is 41lbs and estimated to be around 10 or 11 months old. Her Embark test is on its way to the lab.

She was relinquished by a dog hoarder near the KY / TN border, then transported to the Cincinnati area where a friend of a friend fostered her for a few weeks before I adopted her.

Her looks have me suspecting a certain breed, though I know it’s a bit of a contentious topic over in that breed’s dedicated sub. We’ll see what the DNA says!

She's incredibly sweet and gentle, affectionate without being needy, and utterly devoid of any training, lol. We're working on that! She barely barks unless she's playing and/or wants something, and if she wants something you're not providing she will grab your shoes or the nearest forbidden object or knock something off the table like a scheming cat. I included the photo of her with the TV because she had never seen a TV turned on before and was utterly bewildered. In fact, she had never been inside a house before we adopted her. (She was fostered in a screened-in porch.) Watching her discover the world has been quite something.

Would love to hear your guesses!

I was surprised by the springer spaniel

Lily came from Oklahoma to Seattle in 2019, estimated a year and a half. Now I suspect she was likely 2,2.5. She was presented as a border collie mix, 50lbs, dog friendly/neutral. Only one of those things is true lol.
Lily is roughly 50lbs, dog reactive, very smart but not very lovey dovey, likes to be independent but nearby, likes learning new things but not super drivey. Has a great nose and super high prey drive, but not food motivated and happy enough to stay home and hang around the house. She likes hiking, doesn’t like water, is a bit anxious at times, and HATES nail trims. I love working with her and she’s been my gateway into dog sports and dog behavior! She’s around 9 now, and is slowing down a bit. She has a long lope when jogging, and two rear dew claws on both back paws. Her results are at the end. Apparently she has a littermate named Cooper? There wasn’t a picture for his account and I emailed a couple years ago and didn’t get anything, so if Coopers owners see this I’d love to compare!

I was honestly shocked. I got my dog Lucifer from a rescue that was shut down because of poor management. I wanted to help and he was super sweet! He was already 2 years old when I adopted him!

Her muzzle and chest is graying due to age, it’s not a white marking, although her toe is a white marking. Shes 50lbs and full grown. What do you think she is?

Whiskey is about 20 pounds, supposedly 2 years old, and full of love. Features include a long body, little legs, and a couple funky double dewclaws. Will share results as soon as they’re in!

Update: results are in the comments!!

Just got my dog's Embark results. She's a rescue from Fort Pierce. She does like to run, she is dramatic, vocal. This isn't her full coat.
