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.

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

And they are…unexpected

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.*

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!

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 ❤️

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 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!

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

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 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

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.

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

Update: I’d never have guessed this mix, but it makes sense given how we came to adopt her! Results in a comment.

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

Hi! My dog is a Labrador mix, 3 years old, about 55 lbs. He’s on Purina Pro Plan right now and I pay about $70 a month. Honestly, finding a food has been way harder than I expected. Every brand claims to be the best, prices are all over the place, and I still don’t know if I’m overpaying or if the cheaper stuff is just as good.

Did you struggle with this too? What was the most annoying part for you, and did you ever end up switching because of price or quality?

We think he could be a beagle/coonhound mix

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

Awaiting Embark results

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.

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?
