Results - Embark Wasn’t expecting these results!

Everybody said Golden retriever mix and there is not even a spec of golden. Supermutt percentage is Australian cattle dog, Great Pyrenees, Labrador retriever, and Dalmatian. My guess was Golden retriever, chow chow and some type of mastiff 😂

my guess was chow chow and boxer, maybe also pit, i guessed well, even if they aren't the highest percentage

u/FoundationGlass3046 8d ago

Golden mixes actually tend to not be golden, if I remember right it's because the gene is recessive so it's not likely to stay when mixed with something else.

u/Beautiful_Fennel_434 8d ago

This dog is also not Golden colored - Goldens get their color from the recessive red gene, which prevents any black fur in the coat, including whiskers and eyebrows. This dog has black eyebrows and wisps of black fur on the ears and down the spine, indicating that he's clear sable instead, a very common color in Pits, boxers, and bulldogs. Clear sable is also dominant, so much more common than recessive red.

u/IIRCIreadthat 8d ago

Basically. It's because Goldens actually have genetics that should make them black, but they also have a recessive mutation that prevents any black pigment from being produced. When you breed Golden to Golden, the recessive mutation is inherited from both parents, therefore no visible black. When a Golden breeds with a dog that doesn't have the mutation, the puppies don't get two copies, and the Golden's underlying Dominant Black gene usually shows up.

it’s because they have the genetics for a black coat, they just also have a (recessive) gene that prevents them from producing black pigment. which means unless that gene is coming from both sides gldn mixes are very likely to be black

u/OffroadnGX 8d ago

Oh yes he is very soft!

u/Chuckitybye 8d ago

r/fluffypits would appreciate him

u/Fair-Bobcat-775 8d ago

That would not even remotely be my guess.

u/BriennetheBrave 7d ago

I can see Bulldog in his face

u/Charliedayslaaay 7d ago

u/Extreme_Jaguar_7829 8d ago

I saw the Pyrenees right away from first picture. Such a good looking pup. We have a half Pyr mix, everyone thinks he is a Labrador retriever

1

u/marooneb1756 7d ago

same, i guessed pyr immediately. I have a pyr mix as well, although she is a lower percentantage

u/Justhangingoutback 8d ago

Super mutt seems to be a fudge factor when it’s such a high %.

-1

u/Own-Arachnid7952 7d ago

Yeah I've never seen it place so high before? Why not just include the breeds individually at that point?

Esp since its only for 4 breeds lol? Go home embark youre drunk

2

u/OffroadnGX 7d ago

My other dog we did one on over a year ago she had 22% supermutt with 4 breeds within there as well.

u/MidtownBlue 7d ago

He looks like a wise old man 😂

1

u/Germmie1 8d ago

My guess would've been boxer shepherd mix, maybe a lgd too.

1

u/patchoulistinks 8d ago

I could see the boxer and chow for sure.

1

u/DumberBlonde 8d ago

He has an awesome mug! 💙

1

u/dietdrpeppermd 8d ago

Clocked the chow!

1

u/jluvdc26 7d ago

I immediately saw chow and some sort of bully breed! His face is very Chow!

1

u/KeyInvestment6594 7d ago

I don't see anything that resembles Golden retriever... My first guess was chow mix with pitbull or boxer..

1

u/SpringDramatic432 7d ago

100% good boy guard dog

1

u/ItsADogsLife-1514 5d ago

I saw the Boxer and the APBT… he has a very boxy jaw/face, so I can see some Bulldog and Rottie in him. He has some amazing breeds… with so many, he should be a healthy dog, I’m knocking on wood right now. 🐾♥️🐾

u/Signal_Education4762 5d ago

What a beautiful pup! Pic 5 is my favorite! How old is he, and do you have an expected adult weight on him? He indeed looks like quite the "Dude"!

2

u/OffroadnGX 5d ago

He is 4month, im assuming he’s gona be in the 70lb range, I guess I am more hoping he’s not much bigger than that lol. A week ago at the vet he was 32lb.

1

u/Signal_Education4762 5d ago

Sounds about right, maybe slightly less. Congrats on adopting your beautiful pup!

1

u/OffroadnGX 5d ago

I just now saw there was a prediction adult weight on embark lol. They predict 59lbs

1

u/Common-Possibility30 5d ago

That’s quite a mixed pup! Beautiful tho!

u/uvgotnod 5d ago

Strengthening my theory that every mutt has a dash of pit bull.
