So Fun Finding Family!

So Fun Finding Family!
I’ve always wondered what my rescue dogs’ breeds really are, but the real treasure that came with these breed kits was finding one of my rescue dogs’ mother and grandmother! My dog had just had puppies when she was found on the street, and she’s disabled because she was so mistreated. I really bought this kit because I always hope that her puppies somehow survived, and were adopted into loving homes. I was hoping to connect with them. No matches came up for her puppies unfortunately, but I was so surprised when we found her mother and grandmother with this DNA kit! They live nearby, and were rescued from dog fighting as well. Their mom and I have become good friends, and it’s been so wonderful getting to know my dog’s biological family! I’ll always get DNA kits for all my rescue dogs moving forward. I don’t buy the health version of the tests because I know they’ll just make me paranoid about my dogs’ health. We keep up on their vetting and care carefully, so I don’t think the health kits would really be beneficial for them.Cons: the kits take several weeks to process, and shipping to the testing facility can be extremely slow. Some of the kits took weeks just to arrive at the testing facility, which was annoying. They also send a lot of emails during the weeks-long testing process, too many. I may try another DNA breed kit from a different brand next time to see if I like their process better, or if they’re any faster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible and amazing!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
I just rescued a 7 year old sweetheart. I knew she had beagle in her and was interested what else made her up. I was very surprised by the results and found all the information interesting.

I would recommend Embark for several reasons. First, how quick I got the results; 2nd, seeing what she was made of; 3rd the fact they gave health information; and 4th, seeing her relatives based on DNA. Yes, that's right. Just like human DNA results (like Ancestry or 23 and Me) if her relatives owners have used Embark, they can identify her "cousins." How cool is that?

If you have rescued a sweetheart, I would recommend Embark.

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
Swab easy to use , then activate the kit online after or before you send the swab in the mail. You can include (or not include) as much info as you want . I chose to not upload a picture of my dog, and left everything blank except my dogs name . Results came back just over 2 weeks later and it seems so accurate !!!!! Shelter she was from said a mix/pitbull , but couldn't figure out the pointy ears , and these breeds on the results explain it !!! Was reluctant at first to spend the $100 on this but really glad I did, i always was asking her what kind of dog are you ! Definetley reccomend if you are not sure if you have a dog or alien . !!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Results
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023
I gave this DNA test to my husband as a birthday gift in late February this year and we had the results back by March 23rd. Upon first glance, I felt this was a scam simply because most of the breeds we had assumed were a part of our dog’s genetic make-up were not listed at all. For reference, we had guessed he was a mix of Border Collie, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever. The only breed we guessed correctly was the Golden Retriever and that makes up a smaller percentage than the others. The American Pit Bull really surprised us because we didn’t guess Pit at all. Now that we have had a few weeks to digest the findings, as well as searching for images/traits of the breeds listed, we believe this DNA test to be accurate.

Based on what I read in other reviews, I think a lot of people made the same strong assumptions we did about their dog’s breed, then were disappointed or didn’t believe the results at all.

Regarding the test itself: Read and follow the instructions carefully and to the letter. The process is simple but twice we had to delay sending ours in because our dog had eaten before we tried to do the swab. We did not submit a photo with our test since others felt that the photo was skewing their results. Along with the test results, we also received his history as far back as great-grandparents, and photos of dogs with similar breed test results that look very similar to our dog. There were only a couple but seeing those dogs really solidified our feelings that the test is accurate.

I have included photos for refence. The highest percentages for Dean were American Pit Bull, American Fox Hound, and Labrador Retriever. Depending on his expression, he looks like almost every dog they listed, some stronger than others. We are guessing the Pit Bull had a brindle coat, which could explain the interesting fur patterns on Dean.

Is it worth it? We thought so. To be honest the hardest part about having a mixed breed is knowing we will never have another one like him, and he’s the best boy. <3

5.0 out of 5 stars SO MUCH FUN! So much useful information. So surprising to learn what our pup is!
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022
This was SOOO MUCH FUN! We were surprised to learn that our new puppy was not a chocolate lab mix. There was no lab in him in matter of fact.

I debated which one to buy just the DNA test or the one with the health and traits. I chose the DNA only because we seemed to have a very healthy puppy. There was nothing that was causing us alarm.

To use:
I simply swabbed my puppy's cheeks very well. Slid it in the vial. Did what it told me to do.
I dropped it in the prepaid box/mailer and dropped it in the mail.

Within days, Embark sent me an email that stated they received his sample. They told me it would take about a month and a half for the results. I thought that was going to be it. Wait a month and receive the results.

In about a week or less, I received the first email saying they were starting the process. We got excited because we were going to find out what our puppy was. Anyone who saw him said he didn't look like a chocolate lab. We would say "well, that is what we were told but we are having his dna tested.".

Another week or so, we were sent an email saying that they were moving on to the next step. I wish I saved the emails for the exact wording, but I did not.

Another week and they were almost finished.

One last email to tell us that their scientists were checking the results by hand. The results will be ready very shortly. The joke in the house was that we had a group of scientists working on our pup's DNA.

Then yesterday, I received a text and an email stating the results were in!!! We were so excited. I have been checking the web page, it felt like every hour for the last month.

Upon clicking the link, it gave us choices if we wanted to play a guessing game, watch a video or just find out. As a family we decided we wanted to play the guessing game. We knew from the information they gave that there were 4 breeds in our puppy. The first choice in the game it gave was- Doberman. We said no. He isn't Doberman. He doesn't look at all like a Doberman. We clicked false to learn he was 50% Doberman. We laughed because we didn't see it. Another breed came up. We thought definitely he had some of this in him. People were suggesting it. Nope. More laughter. Pit Bull? We have had other pit bulls, we thought at first there might be pit bull in him. 25% pit bull. More laughter and told yas! Then the surprises! Great Pyrenees? Absolutley not, we said. He doesn't have long hair or anything. He is 12% Great Pyrenees. Lastly, Australian Shepherd? I kind of thought of this because there were Australian shepherds at the place we got him and he looked similar but not the hair. Sure enough he was about 12% Australian Shepherd! No lab at all in him! We all had a very good laugh.

We knew our puppy was from a certain state. Here, you can see other dogs who have had their DNA tested. It pulled up 2 other dogs that were similar to ours from the same state. Because of how close the DNA match was, they are probably immediate family.

Accuracy? We started reading about the different breeds. We were familiar with the pit bull already and the coloring and his chest seem pit bullish. Doberman? The ears and height and body. Great Pyrenees? He has a back do claw that we had already researched before hand and Great Pyrenees was a breed that had them. Australian Shepherd? We believe the eyes are theirs. He has beautiful eyes. The other thing I laughed about was our pup has made a game out of dropping a ball down the stairs and fetching it. Sure enough, one of the breeds when bored will make their own games up. Dobermans are very smart. This puppy learned to open a closet door for shoes, he just pulls on the bathrobe hanging out the door every so little.

5 stars:
I know this is a longer review, but I wanted to share how we thought our pup was a chocolate lab and wasn't at all. That knowing what he was at first we were like No way is he a Doberman until we started researching. We pulled up a Doberman with his ears not pinched and it looks like our pup. We can see traits of the different breeds in our pup. It is a wonderful tool to learn about the puppy. A wonderful tool to know what to expect from a breed therefore how to train. Each of the dogs (but one, I think) are job oriented dogs. We know that we have to give our dog jobs for him to be happy. We know that every breed is an active dog. We know we have to walk him and exercise him a lot to keep him healthy, strong, and well behaved. Knowing what our dog is, is a great tool!!!

We found out our dogs breed, and got a surprise when we found his likely littermate. They look identical have very close genetics, and they have the same demeanor. They were born in the same location. Pretty cool! Do plan on having a playdate with them! Embark has a great feature that allows you to chat with other people through embark I believe if you register you get emails if someone reaches out! Pretty cool! Note: I decided NOT to send a picture of my dog when I made his profile because I did not want them to guess his breed( I was skeptical) but it turns out they have him as 34%pitbull 27%lab 22%st.bernard 9%German shepherd 8%Rottweiler total MUTT.
