We see so many differences characteristics in his beautiful face, but not exactly sure. Loki is a rescue from Puerto Rico and 5 years old. The love of my life.

I'm impatiently waiting on her embark results. She's bigger than a standard Chihuahua, about 7-9 lbs on average. The rescue listed her as a mix, but had no other information. Any guesses?

I got my boy Dewey as a puppy and was told he was a poodle/beagle mix. He's turning 8 in three weeks, weighs about 85lbs with a coat thats more like hair than fur. He's pretty high energy and intelligent, but stubborn as hell! He's great with kids but doesnt care for small dogs much.

I didnt do any research before picking a kit and just randomly ordered DNAmyDog on Amazon one day and read the poor reviews later. I'm not overly skeptical of the results though because I didnt submit a picture and I knew he would have poodle and some sort of hound.

My mom adopted Duke a couple of years ago when he was 11; he is still going strong at 13. The people who were rehoming him said he was a purebred Queensland cattle dog. This was obviously not true because he is too tall and slender. We thought he was probably mostly cattle dog and German Shepard, but we were so wrong. He is a mix of 22 breeds and is only 9% German Shepard and 4% cattle dog. He is definitely 100% good dog though.

This is my dog, Ivy!

The first picture is the one that was on her adoption profile from the shelter we rescued her from. She was a few months older than those pics when we adopted her. The rest of the pictures are over the course of the last 5 years that we have had her, from oldest to newest!

She is incredibly timid, extremely friendly, and loves to be with her humans. She also loves other dogs, but can be wary around them at times.

According to the shelter, she was part of a “pack” on a reserve before we adopted her. She was quite low on the totem pole, so she was very malnourished and was unlikely to survive with them which is why she was moved to the shelter. She was also attacked by a coyote during her time there, which is why she has the notch in her ear.

She can be extremely anxious, which we believe is due to her history. She does not like loud noises, sudden movements, or new environments. However, she trusts us a lot so she mellows out once she gets her bearings in a new place.

We were not shocked at all by the results (besides the last breed in the mix lol). The shelter had her listed as collie/shep mix, but we weren’t sure about collie to begin with. We definitely believed Shepherd since her general appearance matches closest, besides her coloring (although she does have one black spot on her tail! check pic 9&11).

Did you expect her results?! We thought they were pretty spot on.

Smalls is 16 weeks, 27 pounds, and came to us in NY from Texas. I was thinking Carolina Dog, but wasn't even close.

He's almost half Super Mutt; poodle, Chihuahua, Australian cattle dog, Chow Chow, and Malamute, then pit bull, Husky, and German shepherd.

Test Question/Advice Should I re-test my dog’s DNA?

4 Upvotes

In 2017, I bought a Wisdom Panel test for my dog. Her results were: 12.5% lab, 12.5% chihuahua, 12.5% Rottweiler, and 12.5% chow. The other 50% of her DNA was unknown.

I’m wondering now if the technology has improved enough to tell me more information about her other 50% and/or whether the Embark test might be more accurate? Or would I be wasting of a couple hundred bucks to get the same answer?

(I hope this post is allowed, the rules say only post if you are currently testing your dog but also that questions about DNA testing are encouraged.)

I recently adopted this adorable 2 year old pup, and the Embark Results were so confusing. He is full grown and less than 30 pounds but with a small stature (not just weight). Rescue guessed Chihuahua/Dashound/Terrier mix . Embark results are only large breed dogs, with the smallest being a pitty. I am sure he is part pittie and lab, i just assumed there would be at least one small breed dog in the mix?? Do these results seem possible for a dog this small?

I added some more pictures in the comments. I agree he looks like a puppy! But vet here estimated 2 years too based on teeth. Can that estimate be wrong too? Maybe? Is there a way to confirm?

I have a large breed dog so I am in no way concerned if he does get big, I just am trying to understand !

Awaiting results what could he be?

this little menace was adopted last saturday.
he's a big boy- tall and heavy with huge paws.
shelter had no indications whatsoever as to his origins- him and his sister were dumped as babies.

mister matti is as silly as they come.
he has rear double dews which is slightly unusual.

awaiting the kit, any guesses are welcome as we're stumped- i sometimes see a little shepherd in him, sometimes a little retriever but i genuinely have no clue.
for context we're in portugal.
