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.

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

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!!!

After only 3 weeks from mailing the sample, I was surprised to learn he was in fact a Patterdale Terrier with zero Chihuahua! And better yet, he has many familial matches who also have DNA uploaded with Embark!
The sample was fairly easy to take, my pup was not impressed, but even with his struggling, I was able to get the sample I needed.
The mailing process was also easy, when you order from Amazon in Canada, they provide a shipping envelope, with 5 Canadian stamps (I choose to track so paid an addition $3.00 for that).
Embark also sends e-mails every step of the way. When they receive the test, when they extract the DNA., when they begin the testing and finally the results!
5 stars I would 100% recommend Embark! I am very impressed with the entire process and the details provided.
Regarding shipping with Amazon I did not experience any issues product came on time product was not out of date everything was smooth.
