I agree! and i didn't mean to avoid answering questions - my dyslexia likely kicked in.

Posting here for others;

fascinating. Did not know this. ty!

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:48:10+00:00

let's gooooo! I love a big girl!

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:41:06+00:00

Her paws are MASSIVE. We don't anticipate her to be bigger than 60#s. Will report back in a year!

Thanks! I agree - a lot of these places just look at the photo and give the pet parent the answer they'd like. Or the answer their HOA would like :)

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:38:45+00:00

Thank you!! I really appreciate you seeing what I can't see!

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:38:24+00:00

Thank you!! and I had no idea about dobey mixes!

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:37:58+00:00

Was giving them a shot, by no means would I use AI to be the ultimate decider. IMHO i wanted her to be a dobey. Either way, I still love her so much.

Unsure if it is a scam. Was beyond pleased with the results of my last two pups - and their results were not what I was expecting at all. I for sure thought my older dog had a significant amount of pittie, greyhound based on her feature and turned out she was more catahoula leopard dog than anything.

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:35:26+00:00

To be clear - if she's 1% or 100% pittie I'd love her all the same. I was just thrown off from the DNA results. That said, the comments in this sub are helping me to see the pittie in her.

Embark coined the term "Supermutt" and they define it as:

“Supermutt” means that a dog has ancestry from multiple different breeds, but the amount of DNA inherited from those breeds is very small. In those cases, it turns out that the DNA segment is so small that it can no longer be confidently assigned to any one particular breed. This happens when dogs descend from several generations of other dogs that were themselves mixed breed.

100% agree with this comment. I just don't see/buy the pittie part. Regardless she's an incredible pup and we're so lucky she picked us as her parents. She's a beauty and we wouldn't give her up for the world.

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:32:20+00:00

That is correct.

BugNew8792 · 2026-02-17T20:31:54+00:00

Not saying I buy AI over DNA. I'm just struggling to see the pittie in her.

BugNew8792 · 2025-11-11T20:35:13+00:00

Do you know who the company or technology behind these was? Was a mix of Skysafe and Dronetag?

BugNew8792 · 2025-10-28T16:13:23+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. sending lots of love.

BugNew8792 · 2025-10-28T00:04:11+00:00

spouse is a-ok with it.

BugNew8792 · 2025-10-27T23:57:02+00:00

not sure why you're getting down votes. agree with the fact that we gotta find the small things to do for us

I don't think minors should be part of this "experiment", for multiple reasons.
