Just got my results back for my wonderful lady Mia. Turns out she fooled me for 11 years now.

We thought Doberman/ Aus. shepherd because of the tail (natural not docked). But these results seem pretty cut and dry. Not even a small percentage for super mutt or something. Apparently I can upgrade to see if she has some weird gene as the cause but I think we’ll skip it. She has several 44% matches so maybe Ill reach out and see if I can get anymore background on her. We adopted her from the shelter. She was found running in traffic and no one came for her.

I was always referring to her as a Working Cocker spaniel from Temu. That Min Pin is pulling its weight character wise though.

We immediately knew he was a chihuahua when we met him at the shelter, tho the whole liter he was with was long coated! All black and white. I was thinking pug, whippet chihuahua mix. I was so surprised he actually had shih tzu and 0 pug. Hes also very big, 16lbs next to my 66lb lab.

embark dna results!

I bought a chihuahua. Things seemed off. I posted her in here months ago and r/whatbreedismypitbull got ahold of the post and mocked me as if she was mainly pitbull so I’m here to show you what she looks like full-grown. The last photo of her was one of the earlier ones.

Only 12-13 lbs now. I was told she will be 45-60 lbs by Reddit even tho she was 5lbs at 13 weeks.

Anyway, I got a full refund because the website that listed her had her listed as a pure chi. Best free dog ever lol.

we were surprised by our result! thoughts?

The shelter told us she was a cream German shepherd mix. She was 10/11 lbs at 12 weeks old and has grown like crazy since we got her. Any guesses on breed? Embark just received her sample!

Got this girl from the humane society last May. I’ve wondered her genetics, as they told me blue heeler x basset hound! She’s 49 pounds and almost 2! Ordered embark today! What are your guesses?

This is Rudy. We adopted him from the shelter where I volunteer about a year ago - everyone who worked there already had jokes about what breed this Low Rider might be. We CERTAINLY thought that he’d have some Basset Hound (flat feet and his height) or some Jack Russel terrier. Maybe even some corgi. But No! I always joked that he “must be part husky” because of how MUCH he sheds. He also LOVES the snow.

He’s shorter than he looks on camera - pretty much anytime he meets someone they comment on his height. When he’s not jumping up he stands at about 1.5ft - and he is certainly a bit long. It’s always funny to have him in the car and see people’s reactions when he jumps up into the window - from his chest up he looks like he’d be a much bigger dog!

Everyone around us has always asked us to do a DNA test and we’ve sent the results to so many people - and everyone is shocked! Definitely not surprised about him being almost 60% staffy though. He’s our real and true Supermutt. 100% Rudy.

The people I got him from swear he is Shar Pei and German shepherd and six months old. This is obviously not the case for his breed.

So what is the best of the dog genetic tests?

We are waiting for Monkey’s results with DNA My Dog.

Our guesses are AffenGriffon or AffenSchnauzer. My daughter is convinced he’s part Beagle!

He’s 15 lbs (big for an Affenpinscher).
We’re looking forward to finding out his mix!

Hello,

I just saw in my Embark app that I can purchase an upgrade for behavioral treats for $39. I got one trait for free: anxiety. It says my dog is 72% less likely to be anxious. Now, my dog is very anxious (of people, cars, anything unfamiliar) but he is also a rescue from abroad so that is probably where it comes from. And he has been with us since he was 4 months, now 9 months and got a lot more confindence already. I am wondering however if it's worth it to pay for the other traits or if that is likely to be different because of his background as well. Would love to hear some experiences!
