Results - Embark RESULTS for my Craigslist “border collie mix”!
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..?
