Woo~ It's so cool to finally see what she's made out of!
12.5% Rottweiler? That's a bit odd, lmao.
The Pom and Russel-type dog I can see, she's of a smaller size. Didn't her mom resemble a Jack Russel? The dad, he looked like a Border Collie?
Not a high percentage of Husky like everyone tends to think with her eyes, but it's apart of the 24.7% supermutt mixture.

Yeah they did a bit, I made an album to compare, it has her mom and suspected dad near the end.

Honestly I have been thinking her muzzle was still looking a little short (like a rotties) but I chalked it up to her still being a puppy.

Aah! Her results were so interesting to read! It has all come together now!
I bet her shorter legs are due to the Russell Terrier in her. I have known quite a few with short, but not dwarfed, legs.
Temperament wise what breed traits do you think stand out most for her at this stage? (:

[Taiger Lilly]

The Pom/terrier explains her inclination to bark at everything. And the nipping with the herding breeds for sure.
She does remind me of my childhood dog, who was a Jack Russell, just in terms of energy and personality, but it is hard to pinpoint.
I havent interacted with enough Rottweilers to really pick out any of their traits in her.

Edit:
Oh and lots of terrier in the digging at things
Her mom has a "guard dog" personality. One of those dogs that is friendly with you outside the house or if her owners are around, but if you enter the house whem nobody is home you get growled at.
Olive doesn't care for strangers much but she is way more inclined to dodge their attempts to pet her than to growl at anyone.

can someone with help me with finding out my dog's mix? i've been trying forever. thanks!

to the Embark and other such testing....
are they all the same from the pricing and how well they are done (same result of test from different places too ), and did anyone ever do this with a purebreed dog, that is healthy and from good and real breeder? just for the fun...or is price to bad...?
i never did have a look in this because purebreed only dogs in our home. but the question did come up in my mind when reading about your tests here ^^

that is not easy , the pic is not so clear, and not much about the dog....like how big, the weight, known parents.... a standing pic from side, front when possible....
it cold be part sheperd lab and something else when big dog...

I used paw print for Loki when it came to health testing. The whole panel was roughly 300$. I’ve never done DNA because I know his breeders and his parents and I have a pedigree. Also seeing if he carries the dilute gene with paw print. :3

Personally I think Embark is the best one available, but it is also the most expensive (~200 US Dollars). Wisdom Panel 4.0 and DNA my dog and cheaper(60-80 US Dollars) but are just for telling the breeds in mutts.
Wisdom Panel does do health testing as well ($150 USD) but they don't test for as many diseases as Embark does.

As far as accuracy for breeds, Wisdom Panel and Embark can give different result for the same dog. When I was choosing which to use most people said Embark did better with really mixed dogs. For simple mutts (2 or 3 breeds mixed, no mutt grandparents) the tests usually agree.


Some breeders use it to see the coat genetics (to see what recessive traits they carry) and to see if any of their dogs are carriers for genetic diseases. Although if you know your dog is healthy and don't plan on breeding them it might not be worth it.
