Embark DNA Test Results for Rescues | Are my dogs related? - Professional Genealogist Reacts VLOG#49

[@katismith]

I thinking they did Pete's DNA first so Jack's might not have been there to hook up with. But then when they did Jack's, Pete's was already there. If they do occasional updates, I wonder if it will show later?

[@TheEnabledDisabled]

Here is an idea, how far can you reliably go back in Jack and Pete ancestry. How big can the tree get. I would 100% watch a 1 hour video of that

[@GeneaVlogger]

My dog growing up, P.J. (who Pete and Jack are named after), came from a long line of Maltese dogs and I actually traced his pedigree back many generations! We had to put him down 5 years ago but I would have loved to have done his DNA to see his matches. You can actually find the family tree for PJ here - ingrus.net/maltese/details/14616

[@TheEnabledDisabled]

@@GeneaVlogger Also happy new year from Sweden

[@rachelnakasaki319]

🐕 We also have a Jack, rescued from Kyushu, southwestern Japan. His tail has the characteristic Shiba curl, also shared by other Japanese breeds. Not sure what else is in the mix!

[@JessieW6776]

I am so excited to see this video! I’ve been wanting to try Embark with our most recent foster fail, Ha'aheo . She was born on Moloka'i and flown here with her sister at just 3 days old. Pete & Jack are adorable!

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Been rescuing dogs for years. Most have been mutts. Would have loved to know their history. Rescue Mutts Rule!

[@BonnieDragonKat]

They are just awesome puppers!

[@MandeeTheGreat]

I loved how excited you got, I would be the same lol. I need to do this for my dog Murphy. He's a rescue and I was told his parents were a poodle and a husky. But no one believes me that he is a husky-poo. He has the doodle curly fluff but with a double coat on top and he has a husky style tail. I want to know!

[@Sokolva]

Sounds super cute! I just got it for my rescue girl who looks like a really unusually small Pyreneese, excited to find out what she is and get the health results too so we can try to head off any future potential problems if there are any.

[@Anna-ob8we]

The way you say Beau lol. So cute. It’s usually pronounced Bow, like what you wear in your hair. :)

[@NiamhCreates]

Officially the best video on your channel. :-P And I'm only a minute and a half into it, lol. 🐕🐶

[@NiamhCreates]

I wonder if Jack didn't show up on Pete's because you hadn't looked at Jack's yet. Maybe looking at the results first "triggers" it to show up in matches? I'm just guessing. Does Jack show up now? Also, this looks SO FUN to do, lol. I have a dog (Harrier mix) and would love to see if she has any doggie relatives out there, lol.

[@GeneaVlogger]

He still isn't showing up in Pete's matches! There must be some sort of glitch and it might be because Jack's results were finished a week before Pete's.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Dogs make everything better

[@AndrewMartinIsHere]

Trying to imagine swabbing my cat. I’d bleed heavily 😅

[@heatherwhite2788]

I am assuming that you didn’t see the brother relationship the first time is because you hadn’t viewed the results yet. Pretty cool!

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

Ah this brings back memories of my dad testing our dogs to see their ancestry. As it turned out one of dogs, whom we assumed was a beagle-terrier mix, turned out to be beagle, husky, bulldog, and boxer with, surprisingly according to an update, a bit of Jindo (a Korean dog breed). He was from Georgia and I have no clue how common Jindos were in Georgia in 2007, which is when he was born (he was a rescue my family got from a shelter). He lived to be 18 and was very sweet with his brother, a big purebred beagle, and, as my dad refers to our current pair, his grandkids.

[@benebolencia]

With an Instagram account and all… I don’t have a dog, cat or any other pet and had never had one but this video was fun. It made me smile…

[@sabrinab9991]

We did Embark for our Joey, a Shih Tzu.

[@TheEnabledDisabled]

Animal dna test are a thing? I am really interested in this. We have two cats who were both found just a few days old on our summerhouse. We are very sure they brothers and I have thought of the idea of pet genealogy. They are 6 years old now and have been very good cats. If you dont mind, I would love to see more videos of pet/animal genealogy and see how your Pete and Jack family tree looks like.

[@GeneaVlogger]

Yep, not just dogs either!

[@TLhky98]

Yep, I bought one for my nearly 1 & 1/2 ft tall cat, who weighs 19lbs. She has big bones, too. I assumed she was part Maine Coon and turns out she’s 1/4!

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I have two rescues. One dumped by my parents house in CT & the other born to a feral from DE. I'd love to prove the one is part Siamese & see what might make up my void kitty.

[@ettinakitten5047]

I wish I could've tested my childhood dog on this. She was mostly Labrador (or so we were told), but with some unknown mix of one or more other breeds. Based on appearance and temperament, we were guessing GSD or Rottweiler because she had a white belly and brown spotting (despite otherwise looking like a black Lab) and she had a very protective, guard dog temperament. Whatever her mix, she was a great dog for a family with children, very loving and protective and nurturing. My current dog is supposed to be pure chocolate Lab, and it's interesting how much contrast there is. She's also loving and nurturing, but seems way too naïve/trusting and friendly to be a guard dog. Also, my childhood dog barked quite a bit and had a very fierce intimidating bark, whereas my current dog rarely barks, only when she's extremely frustrated/excited.

[@jessicacaporuscio182]

This would be so awesome to do with my Yorkie/chihuahua mix because I know what her mom and dad where, I’ve also kept in contact with her little brother (from same litter) as well. It would be very interesting to see how they would show up. 😀

[@DanSolo871]

Nice to see you geek out towards the end looking at Jack's page.

[@alexandracruz5243]

I come to this video after your first live stream where you talked about your dogs' DNA test. It is really amazing and interesting. I'm surprised that this site determines the haplogroups and even have a chromosome browser. It is even better than Ancestry DNA 😂 It would be interesting to know if you could build your dog's family tree.

[@ReynaDeOro]

I should have never clicked. I already addicted to genetic genealogy. I now I want to test my fur baby.

[@IamPdub]

Yay! They are brothers!

[@GeneaVlogger]

About two months ago they matched another full brother who looks a lot like Pete!

[@RememberMeYeah]

I think they did Pete testing first which is why he was on Jack’s but Pete wasn’t on Jack’s.

[@JenS-xt1zl]

Beau is said Bow. Like bow and arrow or hairbow/rainbow. It's a very southern name.

[@markward2692]

I sent embark DNA tests for my two puppies who were from the same litter and the same thing happened with our results. One came up as immediate family and the other didn’t but the have almost the same percentages. Btw great video

[@MystyXsoul]

Wow so cool, I just got this for my dog 😍

[@karentucker2161]

This is really interesting 🤔. I have an dog that looks like it's an chihuahua and corgi mix. It would be good to know what she really is.

[@donnaroberts281]

That’s pretty cool! I don’t have a dog, but if I did I would do this.

[@evelencia8048]

Maybe jack wasnt listed not to spoil you since you havent clicked on the results yet

[@VenomHalos]

That’s what I was thinking too!

[@karmagal78]

They are so cute!

[@spideyriley]

Jack probably wasn't there because you hadn't viewed his results yet so it wasn't 'activated' on the relatives page. I'm sure it shows there now!

[@Maximedius]

Funny and original intermezzo video! 👍🤣

[@nucktabayoyon1619]

This was so interesting…

[@nillyk5671]

Cuties!!!

[@SavaahaLightfoot]

Ive thought of embarking my Papillon but I know he is full, I would expect he would have siblings pop up as his breeder had really poor ethics and bred his dam every heat cycle. I rescued him from a lady who got him from the breeder. I wish I had tested my previous service dog as we only guessed he was Papillon/Dachshund.

[@Silverhaired59]

My two mutts have a bunch of purebred dogs as relatives on Embark. My Blu, who is 59% Boston Terrier, has dozens of relatives and all but a couple are pure-bred Bostons. I think people are checking out their pure-bred dogs for genetic defects. I can’t think why else they would be testing their dogs. My Neville’s biggest portion is 40% Pekingese. Again, a bunch of purebreds in his relative list! We found a grandmother or aunt of his in Minnesota. We are in Michigan. That dog’s owner thinks hers came from an Iowa puppy mill. Makes sense. Blu is related to a bunch of southern dogs. Georgia puppy mill?

[@dotdotdot...176]

I love dogs

[@cathyc6725]

Interesting. I tested mine with Wisdom Panel. If it goes on sale, maybe I will try this one too. Basically mine is a trailer trash mutt! Knowing the predominate breed can help with training. Train as if your dog was a purebred whatever the most dominate breed is.

[@meokater]

So, did you contacted the 10%ers, and how was their response?

[@GeneaVlogger]

Yep, I've contacted all of them including a new match that was 27% to both my boys. Ruby and Max are half-siblings who were also found on the side of the road and adopted together by their owner. The others all have mysterious backgrounds as well but come from Northern California, so I'm thinking they are either 'rejects' from a puppy mill or they come from some strays who are living in that area. I'm guessing it is more likely the puppy mill scenario. I'm hoping I'll get a close match who was bought and not adopted, then we might be able to name the puppy mill or even their parent's.

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

@@GeneaVlogger I'm crossing my fingers for being able to pinpoint the puppy mill! You'd have proof they're abandoning their dogs. You could get them shut down! Every rescue enthusiasts biggest dream! Not that Jack & Pete aren't precious, but that no other doggos should end up on the street like they did.

[@alphadog3384]

Mazel tov, that the boys are brothers.

[@JakeTheGenealogist]

My rescue dog also came from Merced County, could they be related?

[@GeneaVlogger]

I imagine it's possible! Even better...just have your dog take an Embark DNA test and you'll find out!

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Do the test!!! We must know!

[@linusfotograf]

I hope you do a follow up.

[@laurynfromtheLAB]

Maybe they didn’t want to reveal DNA results until you viewed both of them which would take away the fun of the results/game

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I wouldn't be surprised if Beau came from the same BYB. Breeders breeding for genetics & papers don't breed ChiPoos & if the did, they'd start with registered dogs. My guess is Beau is probably a great uncle once removed? Would love for periodic updates!

[@Bob_Mitch]

I didn't know there was DNA tests for dogs ! Americans will always surprise me :)

[@beyoncehadoneofthebest]

what about the health portion of the analysis?

[@channahcastelobranco]

🐶🐶🧡🌼

[@gregGould]

How much does it cost is the main question?

[@samittin]

Are they siblings? I couldn’t sit thru the whole video

[@xanderb45]

I think It didn’t show up yet because you haven’t revealed the dog’s DNA results yet bet once you did it showed up.

[@GeneaVlogger]

Took about two days for him to show up.
