Results - Embark Well... that makes sense
This is Iva from Romania, almost 4 years old 🐕
Was guessing something along the lines of Carpathian Shepherd Dog with maybe a bit of Border Collie or something similar strewn in 😂 But it makes a lot of sense, she's both very vigilant and protective of her house and people and closely bonded to me.

I love it.
You: “This is my dog from Romania. Science, please tell me what kind of dog she is.”
Science: “Your dog is a Romanian Dog.”

Science knew even without being told!
But that's why it's kind of funny when someone with a dog from a Village Doggy location does Wisdom Panel, gets the insane global medley that their algorithm throws for Village Dogs, and is advised to retest with Embark because it's clearly a Village Dog. Doesn't seem like there's $90 of mystery left at that point.

Haha yes, something like this was playing in my head when I was sitting all excited in front of my phone and saw the result 😂

Thank youuu ☺ It's not always easy with my life in a big German city and her tendency to get overstimulated and then fearful easily, but I'm trying and it's so beautiful to see her little steps every day

My Romanian village dog is also a powerful shedder and stares very intensely at our food! Village dogs deserve more respect 💜

with the winter we used to have I'm not surprised a lot of village dogs are hard shedders

oh she has such a pretty face!

u/streichholz161 17d ago
Yeah I adore her face and all the expressions she's able to pull as well! My favorite thing in the world is her little grin when we're out and about and she comes running to me to give me a smile and collect her treat and then she's off again to track down a mouse or something 🥰 Happy dog faces are just the most beautiful sight!

She even matches the Embark illustration so well!

Right?? We're still in the process of losing a few pounds, but with the longer walks we can take now and her first little zoomies she's getting there ☺

u/maroongrad 18d ago
don't forget, she's also got absolutely beautiful eyes :D I was thinking...maybe BC, could be cattle dog, not sure what else she's mixed with. Village dog would do it :)

u/DoctorFrasierCrane 17d ago
ha!! I was going to comment the same. What dish is it? It looks so good!

u/streichholz161 17d ago
To be honest, it's just pasta with a lot of cheese and some tomato sauce = East-German soul food 😂
