It's a long story of how we became the parents of Fred. Now that we know his breed and background, we've been able to put a lot of pieces of the puzzle together.

My puppy was found alone in a parking lot at 3 days old. We had absolutely no idea anything about him past that. This test has been so extremely enlightening! Of course we learned his breed but it showed us what he was at risk for, what he was a carrier for. It also went in depth with his physical traits, typical behaviors for his breed, it provided a family tree, and the part I was most hyped about is that they show you relatives who have taken the test like a little doggy ancestry!! I was able to find one of his older half siblings and get some information on his background and what happened to his parents! It wound up being completely worth the money and I'm so happy I went for it!!

I am very excited about results Thank you

The test is super easy to use. The results came back very quickly. It's so nice knowing what breeds Winston actually is compared to what we were told he was. Now we know that he's going to require more training and a lot more exercise to keep him a well mannered boy.

I am thrilled with my Stella’s DNA test. When we rescued her in September, we were told she was a Portuguese water dog mix. I thought for sure she was a PWD mixed with poodle. I couldn’t believe when I got her DNA back that she is a 100% purebred Black Russian Terrier. She is a beautiful girl. Her personality and the things she does definitely shows me that her DNA is spot on. Thank you Embark. I’m thrilled.

Really surprised but so happy I now know all about my pups DNA and the breeds she actually has in her lineage! This will help me with training, health care and planning:)

I regretted not performing a genetics test on my now-deceased best friend of 15 years. Naturally, I've now performed the tests on my two new members of my family, and I couldn't be happier with embark's process. The results were surprising (and super fun), and I love that embark shows related pups they have in their system. Marlo is even showing as having two siblings!

I adopted a working dog that was thought to be a purebred. I did a pet subscription box and it came with a different brand of dog dna kit. I was surprised to see he was a mix of 2 different working dogs of the same group (Malinois and Dutchie) but when I went back to look at it a year later the breeds completely changed. Not sure how that is possible since none of the new additions to his dna were new breeds. When a dog is 40% Dutch Shepard how does that go away and become a mix of 5-7 different breeds and the % of Mal was less than original. I bought 3 Embark and all three were done in a timely manner, corresponded with what we knew of the dogs breeds (as well as Vet info and records). The addition of the health info is an awesome benefit.

I thought my dog was 50% Pembroke Welsh Corgi and 50% Australian Cattle Dog. She has the coloring, soft fur, ears and bug eyes of a Corgi, but in a Cattle Dog frame (with longer legs and a tail). It turns out she's lots of herding breeds and no Corgi. Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever being each 20% and other herding breeds contributing less. And besides being an acrobatic frisbee dog, she does herd, that's for sure!

After rescuing a pup from the orchards where I live, I was not sure exactly what my pup was in terms of breeds. The DNA test was easy to use with great follow up as to where the results were and the process.

I adopted a rescue puppy that was labeled as a Chihuahua. When I saw him I suspected he might have some Dauschund blood because of his short stout legs and outward turned front feet. Happy to see that I was correct and I can call him a Chiweenie. Some of the other bits that showed up were surprising. Very happy to see he looks very healthy and that profile is very helpful. I definitely have recommended Embark to friends. I am a retired Geneticist so this was a fun experience.

More than I thought i needed. I'm sorry I waited so long to do it.

2026-01-01

It satisfied my curiosity as to whether my puppy was a Cavalier King Charles

It went faster than expected and I received some surprising results. I now have another pup and will be placing a new order when I can afford it but I’m very happy with the results

We had found Sophia roaming around at my Husbands job and we brought her home. We knew she was a Doodle of some sort . We decided to do the dna test and found out she was half Pyrenees and half Poodle . Testing was very easy and process was very fast. Embark keeps you updated every step of the way during processing

Hi, I’m not sure these results match up with this dog?? I think there was an error somewhere. Maile Allen

We had an idea of what breeds our dogs were but we were not as close as we thought and it was a great surprise. I really love seeing the relatives and health traits. If you're thinking of getting it done but aren't sure, just do it, it's great fun.

I was willing to die on the hill that the rescue we adopted could not be 100% Mastiff. This was not my first test, when Embark delivered results with much more extensive relatives, I had to concede that indeed our boy is 100% Mastiff, not a well bred one mind you. Hate to admit how wrong I was. Embark for win!

So glad I did the two DNA and health of my puppy and 8 year old dog. Very surprising of some results. So excited to know where they’re history of all the dogs in their DNA I’m very reassuring to know on the health side. I like the way they give you all the different results for their health.

Very cool! I mailed out my dog's sample on 11/20/2025 and received results today 12/12/2025.
