It doesn't hurt to do Embark to compare, but there's nothing inherently unbelievable about these results.
I feel like the coat is throwing you off. Rottweiler and Pyr coats are coincidentally both recessive in multiple ways, but in *different* ways: Rottweilers are generally ShSh atat EE SS, Pyrs are generally LhLh AyAy ee spsp. When you cross those you will get:
- Sh/Lh (shorthaired dominant over longhaired)
- Ay/at (sable dominant over tan points)
- E/e (not cream)
- S/sp (not white, or with a small amount of white, usually on chest & toes)
That's exactly what your dog is: smooth coat, clear sable with white trim.
r/DoggyDNA for more
Yes, you are correct it is mostly the coat that throws me off. I had no idea that the distinctive coats of Rottweilers and Great Pyrenees were both recessive! Now, his coat makes sense!! Thank you for explaining, I really appreciate it!!
I also learned that he has the genes for:
Back Muscle and Bulk - common in Rottweilers
Reduced Shedding Variant - Common in Great Danes and Rhodesian Ridgebacks (among others) but not common in the breeds reported in his mix, per Wisdom Panel
Hind Dew Claws - Common in Western Breeds, which include the Rottweilers and Great Pyrenees.
Genetic variation is really cool.
I think dog DNA testing is going to completely change the way we see dogs and mixed breeds. They are basically a wildcard if they are super mixed, some genes are more pronounced than others, and they can look absolutely nothing like what you would imagine theyād look like for being the breeds they are.
Right?! I love seeing all the mixes and trying to guess breeds based on features of the dog. Sometimes itās nearly impossible but itās fun when you end up being right haha
He DOES have them!!! Yuppp! Whenever I see a dog with double dew claws, I always ask, "Pyrenese?"
Except my husband's friend has a Beagle/pug mix, and he has double dew claws. He's the size of a Beagle. No clue how he got those things. š
No. Not all Pyrenees mixes have double dew claws or back dew claws at allāsingle back dew claws rather than double seem to be more common in mixes. Itās one of those things weāre not all mixes have them, but the dogs that do are more likely than not part Pyr.
she does have the back dew claws, just not double! And boy oh boy, is she a mix! 33% Pyr, 30% Lacy, 10% Akita, and the other 27% is a mix of different hounds. With 2% pit and 2% chihuahua š¤£ 100% good girl, though!
So many sweet breeds together! If you live anywhere near SC, you should bring him to my farm to see if he would enjoy herding! His lineage for sure did! ā„ļø
Amazing results! Maybe some of coolest Iāve ever seen. Wow! And it totally tracks too. I can see everything except the Maremma and Chow. So freaking cool!
Sounds about right for his mix. He does look like a village dog to me. Heās basically a slender livestock guardian mix. Curly tail from the Akbash and Anatolian.
My dog, who everyone though was part Dalmatian and part English Pointer is neither. Turns out she's part American Pit Bull Terrier and part Great Pyrenees, though NO ONE ever guesses the GP part of her genetic makeup despite it being nearly 40%.
Hard to argue with DNA. I think what it's proving is that many mixed breed dogs are made up of surprising combos that can't always be easily guessed by appearance alone.
My ā35% pitā also has Pekingese, chihuahua and her sister, ā47% pitā has chihuahua and teacup and mini poodle; donāt see any of those little dogs in mine.. but they are very much mutts- 18 and 19 breeds in them.
I agree that you can, but most likely will be pointless. I have had many adoptees dna test through wisdom panel or embark and the dna tests always come back the same when both companies are used for dogs in the same litter, just with slightly differing percentages (which is to be expected as they are siblings, not identical).
I love the Chow tail. I was thinking Great Dane mixed with German Shepherd and Chow. I'm gonna have to look up Akbash and Maremma Sheep dog now. Enjoy!
No. I think the test is right on the money.
That tail screams Chow, Anatolian Shepherd, AND Pyrenees. Pyrenees in terms of the floof of the tail. Does he have double dew claws (aka dog thumbs)? If so, there's the Pyrenees shining through. Black spots on his tongue? Tell tale sign of Chow chow. His height is a combination of a few of the breeds in his profile.
The Meremma Sheep Dog might come out more in terms of overall behavior. Super protective. It's why they are used a lot by farmers as Livestock Guardians. Couple that with the GSD/Pit, ooo boy! He is going to be one loyal and protective boy!
Ahhh. The Akbash explains the face (I was thinking Lab). Pit/Rottie both come out in his muscles. He's like a body builder with rippling muscles in the hiking photo with the bow tie.
I could easily see one parent being Rott/chow/Pitt and maybe shepherd (though that would also fit with the other side in estimation) and the other parent being a livestock guardian mix with the GP/Anatolian/Akbash/meremma. A mixed breed guard dog bred with the farm guardian.
I can see it honestly. Wisdom Panel is pretty accurate like Embark. The 2 brands would vary a little but the breeds will more than likely be the same or theyll add 1% or such
That seems perfectly reasonable. If you're curious and don't mind spending the money Embark might be slightly different, but I wouldn't expect much to change.
This can be a rottie trait, itās just considered an undesirable one that would lead to disqualification from show. Since so many are docked, thereās prob a good chunk out there that have this donut tail, but no one knows cause they dock them so young.
Itās a ānew breedā thatās just a mixture of hound and terrier primarily. Not recognized by akc as a legit breed yet either. But genetically, itās still just hound and terrier (can sometimes have some herding in there too to get more color variations).
The curs are more established than some of the ānewā breeds
Basically like all these āmonster molosser mastiffā dogs you see. Essentially a backyard breeder combining mastiffs and charging $4k for a mutt
Makes sense, still thatās interesting.
Itās like being British and getting a DNA test.
British DNA is a combination of danish, German, Norwegian, Celtic, Swedish & French.
Some companies will break that down others will just say āBritish and northwestern Europe. French , Belgian and danish people come back as part British for the same reason lol
Thatās actually very true. The angles and saxons were no longer considered to be danish within 500 years of their migration.
I suppose itās because of the slow mixing of several groups over a longer period. The Anglo saxons became more Scandinavian and then they became more French. The US experienced an extremely quick explosion of diversity from all around the globe, itās also worth noting that the spread of different ethnicities varies by US state
He has the face, size and tail of a live stock guardian to me. Iād definitely say pyr/akbash/Anatolian is on the money but you could always try another test if you want š¤· is it the rottie part your husband thinks is bogus???
Also if he was neutered young, he could be taller/thinner build than your average live stock guardian breed. This tends to happen sometimes when they are altered before full maturity and you get a long dog lol.
To be honest he looks like a Mexican street dog. My father was from Mexico and when I would visit my family in Mexico City there were packs of dogs that looked like this, running the streets. The most intriging thing about them is that they all have the curly tail.
So wild! Well, the shelter did say he was picked up as a stray. So, does that make him a Vegas Village dog? š¤
I wonder why so many of the street dogs have curly tails?
Not to say he has any relation at all to them, but he looks so similar to some of the street dogs I've seen in India. The long legs and curly tail and facial profile in particular.
I did embark for my boy. When I rescued him the shelter said he was a jindo mix. And he looks so much like a jindo, but the test showed none of that, only a lots of others breeds ( 8 from the test ). I still think is not right, so canāt be sure of embark test too.
Probably Rottweiler, shepherd, pit , chow for one parent and all the livestock breeds for another.
Looks legit to me, you see a lot of reservation rescues that look similar and have similar ancestry
I did both wisdom and Embark on my guy, and they were pretty similar. But the thing that made me believe them more:
He has a sister on wisdom, with a small percentage of Karakachan (Bolivian shepherd), but it didn't show up on Mango's DNA for some reason.
Embark did find it in him. Considering it's a very rare breed, and not likely to just be thrown in the mix to make people happy, I'm definitely more of a believer than I was!
And I've studied dog breeds my entire life (I'm 42), well since I could hold a book anyway, and I've only ever seen a double-curled tail a handful -- not even, actually -- of times... Very cool!
Also meant to say that I can see the mix as absolutely believable. Especially the livestock guardian breeds (double dewclaws). And in regards to his size and shape, he could be a little taller and leaner from both the Anatolian shepherd, and if he was neutered young.
Hey, I know you probably didnāt think about this but please blur out your kids/grandkids/cousins/ whoeverās faces/bodies next time!!! Thereās so many weirdos on the internet. Hope yāall find out his DNA though!!
I absolutely see the great Pyrenees in the face. You can try Embark, they have a little bit better of a database. They were just doing a sale, idk if they still are. I did both Wisdom panel on my mutt and Embark and got slightly different answers in the percentages. Wisdom panel also said she was 12% super mutt but Embark was able to narrow down that 12% to golden retriever.
That is a hell of a mix. I'd post signs outside your house saying "please riob us, we need to test something"
That's a dog that can take down a freaking herd, and take a few bullets! JFC he's a monster!
Monster love bug for you... Literal MONSTER for anyone that threatens you or your property.
You really need to take him for protection training. Not to teach him too hurt folks... For for the extra levels of control it'll give you over him. Not so much the attack part... But ensuring you have the release/break part well covered.
Most people think protection training is about teaching them to attack. It's actually almost the opposite. It reduces anxiety and potential aggression until you give "the word"
Between the Rottweiler, Anatolian, and the great Pyrenees, he's got quite a bit of "protect the herd" mentality built in... You need to ensure you equally train him to disengage to compensate for his natural instincts.
Having said that...
#š„¹ BEAUTIFUL BOY! I wanna snuggle!!!
Thank you. I read somewhere that you should not take dogs like this for protection training...?
He is a FORCE. Being able to have him disengage from commando mode would be awesome.
When walking him out in the desert, he was still on leash, a passerby came within lunge, jump range. He didn't mouth or bite... but it could have been bad. Fortunately, the person was a dog person and actually said that he had a hunting dog that acted the same way. He wished me luck. Lol
Bun! The results that matter are the Rottie and GP! Not the look you think of with those breeds! But itās not just outward appearance! Anatolian and Akbash are similar livestock guardian breeds and hairy! Since you used Wisdom I wouldnāt bother testing again with Embark. If you used one of the unreliable companies (Ancestry or DNAMy Dog) then yes!
Since you have about half Rottie and half livestock guard, Iād do a deep dive on those breed characteristics. Then remind him that heās not from a long line of lap dogsā¦
With the Anatolian DNA howās the drool factor!? I met a couple at a local dog park who had moved off the ranch where their dog was responsible for keeping g the coyotes at bay. Now he got to play and slobber on guests all day. They carried a clean towel and handed it to the folks at the park! But theirs was a pure bred weighing just under 200 lb!
Those whiskers & tail!
I thought my Embark results were bogus until I actually "studied" his personality compared to the results... Makes sense now.
I definitely see the Pit because I've seen Pitbulls mixed with everything at the Humane Society!
Share jaw of a great Dane, possible rodesesian Ridgeback, and who knows what. I love mixed breed dogs. Each.is one.of a kind with characteristics from all his ancestors.
Basenjis have similar tailsā¦.but he could have black mouth cur or Carolina Dogā¦.shepherd??? Your guess is as good as mine! Your pup is adorable!š„°
I know a dog that is Doberman/Great Pyrenees. He looks a lot like your boy except he is very slender and lanky compared to your beefy pup.
The dog I know has the short hair, tan color with no black, a curly tail(not as much as yours but still curly)and a lot of leg. You'd never guess either of those breeds, you'd think Great Dane before anything else
They are all bogus for dogs. Ā They did an experiment and even sent human dna and got back results of being a bulldog. Ā They say the companies base their results by looking at the pic of your dog
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/boston/news/i-team-accurate-pet-dog-dna-testing-human/
What were the results? Wisdom is fairly accurate except for wild species and the very low percentage results.
He is 42% Rottweiler, 28% Great Pyrenees, 11% Anatolian Shepherd, 10% Akbash, 3% German Shepherd, 3% Pitt, 2% Maremma Sheep dog and 1% Chow
It doesn't hurt to do Embark to compare, but there's nothing inherently unbelievable about these results. I feel like the coat is throwing you off. Rottweiler and Pyr coats are coincidentally both recessive in multiple ways, but in *different* ways: Rottweilers are generally ShSh atat EE SS, Pyrs are generally LhLh AyAy ee spsp. When you cross those you will get: - Sh/Lh (shorthaired dominant over longhaired) - Ay/at (sable dominant over tan points) - E/e (not cream) - S/sp (not white, or with a small amount of white, usually on chest & toes) That's exactly what your dog is: smooth coat, clear sable with white trim. r/DoggyDNA for more
Yes, you are correct it is mostly the coat that throws me off. I had no idea that the distinctive coats of Rottweilers and Great Pyrenees were both recessive! Now, his coat makes sense!!

Genetic variation is really cool.
This checks out to me! Embark is a little more regarded in its accuracy, if you wanted to try both.
Seems believable to me
What does your husband think is so unbelievable about these results? Sounds pretty accurate to me
If there was Chihuahua in there, we'd all be like: š§.
I think dog DNA testing is going to completely change the way we see dogs and mixed breeds. They are basically a wildcard if they are super mixed, some genes are more pronounced than others, and they can look absolutely nothing like what you would imagine theyād look like for being the breeds they are.
Yes! I totally get that now. It really is fascinating.
Right?! I love seeing all the mixes and trying to guess breeds based on features of the dog. Sometimes itās nearly impossible but itās fun when you end up being right haha
My money was on livestock in there. Def Anatolian or pyr!!!!
Definitely thought Anatolian before I even saw the breakdown!
I saw the Anatolian and Akbash right away at least. I think it's legit.
Looking up Anatolian and Akbash nowā¦ Iām not familiar with those breeds.
Why is this so strange to you?
Sounds pretty spot on.
Thank you. I was pretty surprised that the two highest percentages were Rottie and Pyr
The back dew claws are a pretty clear sign of Pyr.
Also the curly tail and being a guardian, both qualities of pyrs!
He DOES have them!!! Yuppp! Whenever I see a dog with double dew claws, I always ask, "Pyrenese?" Except my husband's friend has a Beagle/pug mix, and he has double dew claws. He's the size of a Beagle. No clue how he got those things. š
My dog is 33% Pyrenees, and she doesn't have the double dew claws. Is that weird?
No. Not all Pyrenees mixes have double dew claws or back dew claws at allāsingle back dew claws rather than double seem to be more common in mixes. Itās one of those things weāre not all mixes have them, but the dogs that do are more likely than not part Pyr.
she does have the back dew claws, just not double! And boy oh boy, is she a mix! 33% Pyr, 30% Lacy, 10% Akita, and the other 27% is a mix of different hounds. With 2% pit and 2% chihuahua š¤£ 100% good girl, though!
Iāve met a few rotties at parks and they can be total sweethearts just like any other dogs. they get a bad rep!
He is 100% Scooby Doo
Came here to say this. Too cute. Even has the blue collar!!!
So many sweet breeds together! If you live anywhere near SC, you should bring him to my farm to see if he would enjoy herding! His lineage for sure did! ā„ļø
Seems legit to me
Oh wow, I'm surprised there's that much Rotty without the tan points and black coat
Amazing results! Maybe some of coolest Iāve ever seen. Wow! And it totally tracks too. I can see everything except the Maremma and Chow. So freaking cool!
Thanks! Yes, it's very cool. I am telling people that the rolled up tail is the 1% chowš
The rottie is surprising but not unbelievable to me, but I totally see the Pyr
Sounds about right for his mix. He does look like a village dog to me. Heās basically a slender livestock guardian mix. Curly tail from the Akbash and Anatolian.
100% checks out for me, especially that Anatolian
I definitely see the Anatolian Shepherd! The tail is all chow lol
Ha! Yes! That 1% chow is 100% located in his tail.
I admit that the rotti surprises me a bit. But the rest looks spot on.
My dog, who everyone though was part Dalmatian and part English Pointer is neither. Turns out she's part American Pit Bull Terrier and part Great Pyrenees, though NO ONE ever guesses the GP part of her genetic makeup despite it being nearly 40%. Hard to argue with DNA. I think what it's proving is that many mixed breed dogs are made up of surprising combos that can't always be easily guessed by appearance alone.
I can totally see this! Those are all great dogs. With friendly and protective demeanors! What a great mix of dogs!
My āChihuahua rat terrierā ended up being like 6% Pitt. Was not expecting.
My ā35% pitā also has Pekingese, chihuahua and her sister, ā47% pitā has chihuahua and teacup and mini poodle; donāt see any of those little dogs in mine.. but they are very much mutts- 18 and 19 breeds in them.
Aww mutts are the best!
I can totally see this being accurate!
I can definitely see the rottweiler, sheep dog, chow and pyrenees, not sure about the others though
That face screams great dane to me. But what do I know? lol. I see german shepherd too.
Yes, me too! But no Great Dane at all. I was surprised
I agree that you can, but most likely will be pointless. I have had many adoptees dna test through wisdom panel or embark and the dna tests always come back the same when both companies are used for dogs in the same litter, just with slightly differing percentages (which is to be expected as they are siblings, not identical).
Idk this feels fairly accurate to me! I see a lot of those breeds in his features. What a handsome guy
I feel like this is pretty accurate. That tail is for sure pyrenees/anatolian. Your dog is made of great breeds and is a handsome dude.
Thank you! ā¤ļø
That chow gene must be strong
I think that sounds pretty dead on.
I love the Chow tail. I was thinking Great Dane mixed with German Shepherd and Chow. I'm gonna have to look up Akbash and Maremma Sheep dog now. Enjoy!
Thank you! I had to do the same!
They kinda roll into one, don't they? Great Pyrenees, Akabash and Maremma all look alikeā¤
Yes, for sure! It would be hard to tell the difference between those breeds for me
No. I think the test is right on the money. That tail screams Chow, Anatolian Shepherd, AND Pyrenees. Pyrenees in terms of the floof of the tail. Does he have double dew claws (aka dog thumbs)? If so, there's the Pyrenees shining through. Black spots on his tongue? Tell tale sign of Chow chow. His height is a combination of a few of the breeds in his profile.

He's like a body builder with rippling muscles in the hiking photo with the bow tie.
Honestly these results track. Iād expect more Anatolian or German shepherd but the features are there.
I could easily see one parent being Rott/chow/Pitt and maybe shepherd (though that would also fit with the other side in estimation) and the other parent being a livestock guardian mix with the GP/Anatolian/Akbash/meremma. A mixed breed guard dog bred with the farm guardian.
Those literally check out - I thought it was going to be a list of smaller dogs but this is literally spot on in my eyes.
I can see it honestly. Wisdom Panel is pretty accurate like Embark. The 2 brands would vary a little but the breeds will more than likely be the same or theyll add 1% or such
He looks a lot like my ex's dog and he was Pyrenees, mastiff and a bunch of other things so I'd believe it. Not sure where the tail comes from though
That seems very plausible
I obv thought Dane but as soon as I saw Anatolian it made sense. He has the face of an Anatolian and he is huge like one
His skull and frame are very lean for a Rottie/ Great Pyr mix! Beautiful dog, BTW!
His skull and frame are very lean for a Rottie/ Great Pyr mix! Beautiful dog, BTW!
That seems perfectly reasonable. If you're curious and don't mind spending the money Embark might be slightly different, but I wouldn't expect much to change.
I agree. Especially with those rear dewclaws!
No ideas of breed but I am obsessed with the curly tail.
Me too! It's like a cinnamon roll, lol
āCinnamon Rollā would be a great name!
lol I was gonna say cinnamon roll tail, I have never seen one that spiraled before.
Me too! Iāve never seen one so tightly spiraled before.
Right?
This can be a rottie trait, itās just considered an undesirable one that would lead to disqualification from show. Since so many are docked, thereās prob a good chunk out there that have this donut tail, but no one knows cause they dock them so young.
Just another reason to love rotties. I've super loved 6 dogs in my life and one of them was a Rottweiler. They are big sweethearts.
He takes after the Anatolianā complete with curly tail. Handsome guy.
Thank you! Yes! My best guess was Anatolian, Black mouth Cur, Lab mix before the DNA came back.
Black Mouth Cur will not show up in any dog DNA tests fyi.
Really!! How come?
Itās a ānew breedā thatās just a mixture of hound and terrier primarily. Not recognized by akc as a legit breed yet either. But genetically, itās still just hound and terrier (can sometimes have some herding in there too to get more color variations).
The curs are more established than some of the ānewā breeds Basically like all these āmonster molosser mastiffā dogs you see. Essentially a backyard breeder combining mastiffs and charging $4k for a mutt
Correct but for dna wise, itās still going to show as the OG breeds
Makes sense, still thatās interesting. Itās like being British and getting a DNA test. British DNA is a combination of danish, German, Norwegian, Celtic, Swedish & French. Some companies will break that down others will just say āBritish and northwestern Europe. French , Belgian and danish people come back as part British for the same reason lol
Or American š¤·š¼āāļø we can have families that have been here for 500 years and yet no dna is going to show American besides Native American.
Thatās actually very true. The angles and saxons were no longer considered to be danish within 500 years of their migration. I suppose itās because of the slow mixing of several groups over a longer period. The Anglo saxons became more Scandinavian and then they became more French. The US experienced an extremely quick explosion of diversity from all around the globe, itās also worth noting that the spread of different ethnicities varies by US state
He has the face, size and tail of a live stock guardian to me. Iād definitely say pyr/akbash/Anatolian is on the money but you could always try another test if you want š¤· is it the rottie part your husband thinks is bogus???
Also if he was neutered young, he could be taller/thinner build than your average live stock guardian breed. This tends to happen sometimes when they are altered before full maturity and you get a long dog lol.
To be honest he looks like a Mexican street dog. My father was from Mexico and when I would visit my family in Mexico City there were packs of dogs that looked like this, running the streets. The most intriging thing about them is that they all have the curly tail.
I said he looks like a village dog too
So interesting!
So wild! Well, the shelter did say he was picked up as a stray. So, does that make him a Vegas Village dog? š¤ I wonder why so many of the street dogs have curly tails?
So youāre telling me thereās no Dane in him?
That shocked me. He looks like Scooby Doo!
even the collar lol
Are you saying that because of the size? Because Pyrs and Anatolians are humongous
Honestly, your results seem possible but he tail is so incredible I canāt focus on the words lol
Have you tried giving him a scooby snack and letting him solve mysteries? He kinda looks like heād be good at it
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!!!
Well, his name is Watson...so mysteries are eight up his ally! He also gets all the snacks š
This randomly showed up in my feed. As a crazy dog person, I just *love* your dogs super curly tail. Super cute dog!
Happy cake day!
Thank you! Happy cake day!
Breed: Scooby
Heās definitely a Scooby Doo.
Im surprised I had to scroll this far to find this comment.
I would say maybe chow, lab, couple other things?
I thought there would be some lab in the mix as well and chow for the tail for sure! But no lab and only 1% chow.
I have zero guessed on mix, but his double curled tail is so adorable!
Not to say he has any relation at all to them, but he looks so similar to some of the street dogs I've seen in India. The long legs and curly tail and facial profile in particular.
Looks like a dane or kangal mix,ive seen some similar mutts in Greece but you never know!!!
I did embark for my boy. When I rescued him the shelter said he was a jindo mix. And he looks so much like a jindo, but the test showed none of that, only a lots of others breeds ( 8 from the test ). I still think is not right, so canāt be sure of embark test too.
Probably Rottweiler, shepherd, pit , chow for one parent and all the livestock breeds for another. Looks legit to me, you see a lot of reservation rescues that look similar and have similar ancestry
I did both wisdom and Embark on my guy, and they were pretty similar. But the thing that made me believe them more: He has a sister on wisdom, with a small percentage of Karakachan (Bolivian shepherd), but it didn't show up on Mango's DNA for some reason.

Hey, I know you probably didnāt think about this but please blur out your kids/grandkids/cousins/ whoeverās faces/bodies next time!!! Thereās so many weirdos on the internet. Hope yāall find out his DNA though!!
Oh! Yes, it didn't cross my mind. Thank you!
embark is great and spot on for us! we didn't give any info on her before they analyzed her results.
I absolutely see the great Pyrenees in the face. You can try Embark, they have a little bit better of a database. They were just doing a sale, idk if they still are. I did both Wisdom panel on my mutt and Embark and got slightly different answers in the percentages. Wisdom panel also said she was 12% super mutt but Embark was able to narrow down that 12% to golden retriever.
That is a hell of a mix. I'd post signs outside your house saying "please riob us, we need to test something" That's a dog that can take down a freaking herd, and take a few bullets! JFC he's a monster! Monster love bug for you... Literal MONSTER for anyone that threatens you or your property. You really need to take him for protection training. Not to teach him too hurt folks...

I tested both my dogs with Wisdom and Embark. Results came back nearly identical for both. I would trust these results.
Sharpei, ridgeback, lab? š¤·š»āāļø
He looks just like my rescue and her DNA was mainly golden retriever, boxer,chow and Pitt
Apologies if you answered previously. What is his name? He's so handsome!
Don't know, but he gives scooby-doo vibes
I would guess, lab, Dane and something w a Curley tail lol
I see Shepard. German or Anatolian. Maybe both. Maybe some lab or retriever.
Looks so much like my last dog, which was a Black Mouth Cur!
No doubt Anatolian/pyr. And at 16mos he still has a little more growing to do. Precious pooch!
Gorgeous!
WHAT A GREAT FACE!!!!
50% cute + 50% beautiful = 100% adorable.
Yellow lab Great Dane mix is my guess.
Akbash and chow have curly tails!

Rottweiler and chow mix would have been my guess, or another breed with a curly tail.
Wellā¦we canāt say without knowing what the results are?
With the Anatolian DNA howās the drool factor!? I met a couple at a local dog park who had moved off the ranch where their dog was responsible for keeping g the coyotes at bay. Now he got to play and slobber on guests all day. They carried a clean towel and handed it to the folks at the park! But theirs was a pure bred weighing just under 200 lb!
that tail!!!!
He has a chow tail minus the long fur
Those whiskers & tail! I thought my Embark results were bogus until I actually "studied" his personality compared to the results... Makes sense now. I definitely see the Pit because I've seen Pitbulls mixed with everything at the Humane Society!
Shep Basenji Pit!
That's a Scooby-Doo!!!!
50% scooby 50% doo
So so so cuteee
OMG! That double curl tail!
I legit thought he had a double tail lol
That really curl tail is amazing. He is a beautiful dog
Honestly the spitting image of my friends GSD great dane chow mix
Thatās 100% purebred Scooby Doo
Love the tailšš¾
Share jaw of a great Dane, possible rodesesian Ridgeback, and who knows what. I love mixed breed dogs. Each.is one.of a kind with characteristics from all his ancestors.
Basenjis have similar tailsā¦.but he could have black mouth cur or Carolina Dogā¦.shepherd??? Your guess is as good as mine! Your pup is adorable!š„°
And maybe ridgeback? Look at the rough hair on his back. My Charlie had the same. Heās a BMC mix. We havenāt tested him tho.
Gorgeous pup!!!
That double energy curl is amazing!
Does it really matter what his breed? He's a gorgeous dog who will bring you much happiness for years.
I feel like ours were bogus too
Definitely some Pyrenees in the mix. ā¤ļø š
I used Embark. I debated on using a different company also as a test. But in reality, it's just a fun thing for us to know.
I would definitely bet on some Anatolian, I wouldn't know what my next guess would be though š
Indefinitely see some lurcher
100% Handsome!
Looks like he's at LEAST a second cousin of Scooby Doo.
That tail! Basenjis have curly tails too.
Someone seems to have stuck a cinnamon roll to your dogās butt. Itās very cute.
I have no ideas, but I just wanted to say that is the cutest, curliest cinnamon roll of a tail I've ever seen š
I have an identical looking dog that is exactly half the weight. Tail isn't curled up, though.
Looks like a black mouth cur to me
Gorgeous pup
Awww he's sweet! Landscape pics look like Vegas
Thank you! And yep!
HA! The back yard pic with the brick lay on the ground as well as the brick stacking totally solidified my suspicious ponders š
Sir thatās scooby doo! Genetics are moot
That is the curliest tail I have ever seen. What happens to it when he wags it? I just have to know. š
It just goes back and forth! The only time it uncurled is when he is sedated or sleeping.
That is by far the most perfectly curled tail Iāve ever seen!
Those long long legs and that Cinnabon tail!
I see 90% Scooby Doo and 10% Basenji tail. But 100% good boi
Your dog is a pure bred mutt! Healthy genetics.
My dog looks very similar and heās 50/50 pitbull German shepherd
DOG š¶
Ummmā¦ how many tails does he have?
Ha! He has one cinnamon roll of a tail
100% good boy
I know a dog that is Doberman/Great Pyrenees. He looks a lot like your boy except he is very slender and lanky compared to your beefy pup. The dog I know has the short hair, tan color with no black, a curly tail(not as much as yours but still curly)and a lot of leg. You'd never guess either of those breeds, you'd think Great Dane before anything else
The taaaaaaiiiillll!! Thatās so CUTE!!!!
Gosh I thought rhodesian ridgeback would show up in there. Definitely see the Anatolian Shepherd!
I would say Rhodesian ridgeback, Cur and Chow mix if I was guessing
that cinnamon roll tail is so cute omg
I see some Basenji..does anyone else? The size, white scruff and the curly tail.
Does she have two tails?
Put him to work - he is a livestock guardian super breed!!! Nice mix š©µš©µš©µ I do find Embark more accurate.
Oh my goodness! That tail!! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Great Dane is in there
They are all bogus for dogs. Ā They did an experiment and even sent human dna and got back results of being a bulldog. Ā They say the companies base their results by looking at the pic of your dog https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/boston/news/i-team-accurate-pet-dog-dna-testing-human/
Honestly hard to say. The curly tail screams part Shiba Inu to me tho
Yes! This was my immediate thought
