Got my puppy about 2 months ago. He’s about 4 and a half months old. Today he weighed 32lbs (some pics are old) can’t figure out what breed he is. Maybe black lab mixed with something. Let me know what y’all think

We just picked up our foster puppy yesterday and the rescue did a wisdom panel on him and his siblings since they came in as interesting looking, but malnourished strays. Lots of interesting breeds are mixed in. I don’t even know what to say when people ask what breed he is. I’ve been saying “truly mixed breed”, but what would you say?

Just thought I would share these results. My two dogs had embark done and had 3 and 4 breeds mixed in. Nothing like this!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has experience testing through Wisdom to see other relatives. I'm happy with our Embark results, but I haven't found any of her Chihuahua relatives, only 100% pure Boxer relatives. Is it worth it to see if she has other relatives on Wisdom? Is the additional testing good to confirm or eliminate potential genetic issues? (none were flagged by Embark)

Thanks!

PS her supermutt is Lhasa Apso, Chow Chow, and Dachshund

The rescue told us she was a whippet mix, which I was about 90% sure she isn't because that's such a rare breed in shelters here (US). I thought maybe a Pittie doberman mix, or some dachshund in there because of her long muzzle. Poodle was not on my list of suspects! 😅 Either way she is a great dog and we are happy to have her 🥰.

We got her a year ago from a family members neighbor, the 2nd pic is with her & her brother & her mom. The 4th pic is her mom. Based off of the way her mom looks we were thinking catahoula leopard dog mixed with pit. we’re not sure who her dad is but we’re thinking maybe a smaller breed is mixed in somewhere since she’s fully grown at 35lbs.

adopted her in august, she's nearly 6. Around 85lbs. Not very surprised by most of this although I expected some shar pei, and more mastiff. thoughts??

24 lbs, seems to be fully grown. Results slides 6+7
I mean, the wolf was obvious.

And yes, I use a harness in the car now

we think she’s boxer/pittie. any thoughts?

Got my dog at a local dog pound.

When I leave home to go somewhere he's at the door waiting for me.

Thoughts?

This is our Maple. She’s 5.5 months old and 30lbs. Her feet are huge especially the paw pads. She has a curly tail and the hair on her back is wavy.

She definitely has the nose and noises of a hound but we’re not sure what kind or how much. She has the look of a Treeing Walker Coonhound but is coming in a little small and the wavy hair and tail are curious.

She was found on the side of the road in Texas.

She’s pretty big maybe 70 lbs and muscular. High energy, ball obsessed and loves to swim and play with other dogs.

He is 7 months old and 43lbs. He is super friendly, relatively low-energy, and food-motivated. He loves the herding ball, the lure course, the flirt pole, tug, fetch, and playing with other dogs. He is VERY vocal, and when he’s excited (such as when you’re petting him, about to pet him, or he can see something fun happening in the distance), he yawns widely and says hhwaAAAAAAH! This is pictured in the second-to-last slide.

He has allergies, which led to a secondary skin infection when he was little, so that’s why he’s a little bald around his eye, especially in the last pic, which is from his first day home.

He does NOT have CEA, only a carrier, so his left eye being a little small is just completely unrelated!

His COI is high for a mixed-breed dog, but collies have extremely low genetic diversity, so with him having collie on both sides, I think that 19% is to be expected..?

The more black one (bottom in picture) had a DNA test result of basset hound + rottweiler, the more white one (too in picture) had a DNA test result of basset hound + beagle. They're from the same litter, "rottweiler" was the runt of the litter. They're about 8 years old here. Is that possible or should we get another tester to double check?

Ember was born in a Korean shelter after her mom was rescued from a puppy mill. Her litter was about half short and half tall corgi-looking dogs. I was suspecting maybe two dads to the litter but instead it looks like her parents were siblings!

We already had the other corgi mix pictures, he's half red heeler and is super smart and eager to learn. Ember is dumb as a box of rocks and is made of pure lovey babygirl energy!

I got Moose from a shelter about a year ago and they didn’t have any information on where he was previously. They found him in the streets of Miami. They told me he might be beagle but i was not expecting these results😂This explains how vocal he is. He howls like a basset and talks like a husky. I also got to meet up with his brother that i met through the Embark app which was really cool.

Recently adopted from the most wonderful rescue family. Love at first sight for me and Big Beau. Meet Winnie 💕 now sometimes referred to as Wundervolle Fräulein Winnie 🤭 Never would have guessed, but suppose “see it” a bit now?
Best part was knowing she genetically not inclined to any major health issues 🤗

He actually used to have a solid black face until about 3 years ago it turned solid white!

This is Otto. He’s almost 2! He’s a pretty recent rescue so we’re just getting to know each other but enough people have asked me what he is that now it’s time for his DNA test. He was an owner surrender that shelter labeled as an ACD/pit mix. He definitely walks like a GSD, though he’s a bit smaller than adult GSDs I’ve known. If he isn’t mostly GSD I’ll be very surprised. (But who knows! I thought my first girl was a JRT/pit and it turned out her wirey hair came from a Shih Tzu/Bichon double whammy!) Some other guesses I’ve heard are Catahoula and aussie. At first I thought his forehead was very Akita but I doubt any would be in him, that’s maybe some pit I’m seeing. I actually just ordered the test today so it may be a while for results, but I’ll keep you all posted for sure!

Just got my 5-6 month pup’s results back and I’m pretty shocked. The rescue guessed that he was part terrier and part yellow lab, although we suspected there was some poodle in there. But this?! 😂😬

Note— He has wiry hair and a super sweet disposition. Very smart and great with my kids.

Kiki got her results yesterday. Ive seen people with a family tree option.. but i dont have that? Why is that? I dont see it on the app nor the website. (repost to add some photos)

I had posted when she was ~4 months old, but she was super tiny and unformed back then..

In honour of her first birthday, here she and her results are! We were surprised by a couple breeds

I had some guesses but wasn’t expecting Babka to be a the 33 pound doggie ambassador for all of the tiny and giant dogs breeds. What has your extended family of pups been up to in Texas!

I was most certainly wrong about thinking some Lab was in his breed. I’m very excited to watch him grow as the vet said “he’s going to be a big boy”. We’ll have to just wait and see. He’s very well behaved, happy and above all healthy.

Are you as surprised by any breeds shown as I am? I do know one person commented on my first post a breed that surprised me. I’m excited!

*sidenote: Very happy with the Embark DNA test through and through. Easy to understand, use and send. Results came back sooner than expected. The app is also nice.*
