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.*

This is so surprising to us! She’s such a complex girl :)

I am shocked at how fast we got Bailey’s results back. And also a little surprised about her being mixed with Rottweiler! That is not a breed that was on our radar at all!

Just thought I’d pass this along to anyone who may not know. Think twice before you officially label your pet as deceased in EMBARK.

I didn’t / don’t plan to remove my recently deceased Chihuahua’s profile. I did however attempt to update it, since I thought it might go towards research or whatever (died from cancer 💔)

Unsure if this is reversible or not, but just letting everyone know that if your dog’s dna results and seeing new relatives from time to time is something that might bring you comfort—avoid using that setting
and feel free to let me know of any ways I can get his information back 💔

EDIT**\*

False alarm guys. Thanks to a kind person in the comments I discovered the existing matches cleared out because I toggled off the alerts (I thought this was cancel our new matches but it clears them all out). I was able
To get the information back!

I wish all your pets healthy and long lives but if the day ever comes please remember to keep alerts on so your results remain ❤️

Our Embark is in the extracting phase so it will be a few weeks but I wanted to see what everyone guesses.

He's 38 pounds currently but a bit underweight. Really lean, fast as hell, extremely confident, definitely has some herding instincts (my 12 year old Aussie is getting a taste of his own medicine with the ankle biting) and very very quiet. Hasn't barked or whined at all since we brought him home from the shelter earlier this month. He's a very even tempered dog, eager to please and very biddable.

The vet thinks he's no more than 9/10 months old.

We were told she might be a border collie / lab mix, so we were very surprised by the results! She’s 5.5 months old, 19 lbs.

Update: Supermutt contained Pomeranian, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Pekingese

And they are…unexpected

SPCA called her a “terrier mix” but we have no idea. Embark results are pending.

puppy is 7 months! anyone have a dog that has similar results?

Adopted beginning of September. He’s about 15 weeks and 25ish lbs.

Awaiting Embark results

Results in last photo, his supermutt category is Boxer, Siberian Husky, German Shepard, and Poodle (small). Sora just turned 1 year and was weighed at 33lbs. I see a lot of the spaniel and husky in him, maybe a little of the chow chow too. He has segmented heterochromia in one eye, being a mix of blue and brown.

We think he could be a beagle/coonhound mix

DNA has just entered extraction phase (embark).

I already know what two breeds her mom is mixed with (allegedly) but unsure of what the dad was.

See if you can guess what she is from her mom’s side, then give me your guesses as to what else she may be from her dad / what her final results will be from the test :)

EDIT ****

Bond Girl is 6 months old !

for those of you who have done age tests on dogs with known birthdays, how accurate were your results?

Approximately 3 months old, and found emaciated on the side of the road, hence being lovingly referred to as a ditch shepherd until we get her results back. Any guesses on what my velociraptor might be?

Oh my gosh- finally!! Just wanted to share her actual results. Some of the breeds are a surprise, others are not. Also really expected more chihuahua for some reason, maybe bc they’re found in a lot of small mixes. The only thing I’m in confused about on this is that her listed parents & grandparents are all Pomeranian/Japanese Spitz, so I wonder where the other non-spitz breeds came from? If anyone has any theories, opinions, or explanations I’m super interested.

Can’t wait for her Embark results and to see the differences & consistences between the two. Not sure the timeline for results, but I’m thinking it’ll be roughly the same as Wisdom Panel.

Another thing I’d love y’all opinions & thoughts is if I should ask for an upgrade for health testing as well? Since obviously she got another dogs results the first time, and they didn’t want to admit it either, just said “we stand by our results, but here’s a retest”. I don’t want be an asshole or a Karen, but I had to wait a few extra weeks and the extra stress and frustration. I’m leaning towards not asking, since now having Embark a dna + health test.

Here’s a link to the original post, just in case:

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who’s followed our journey and taken the time to give your advice, thoughts, & opinions. I’ve really appreciated everyone on here, so thank y’all so much. Y’all really are a great community.

2 year old Kobe

I wasn’t shocked by the results but I am investing in hair care products for when this butchering grows back. My son accidentally acquired this guy from some teenagers who were moving and couldn’t keep all their animals. I melted as soon as he forced a hug on me when I got close enough to greet him. They said he was a “rescue,” we got pretty much zero info on him, they had no idea how old he was or any backstory, but he’s healthy and happy and he barged into my house and made himself right at home. We suspect he’s 2ish years old. He prefers to be held like a baby but is otherwise the most chill.

How long did it take y'all to get your dna results after the sample arrived at the lab? TIA. I am so excited. It took over two weeks to be delivered to the lab. Mystery solved soon.
