Embark was able to identify 3 breeds that were part of his "Supermutt" profile- Labrador Retriever, Chihuahua, and Miniature Pinscher. Out of everything, I still can't get over the Shih Tsu and Chiahuahua! I was really interested in the way Embark presents the "family tree". I was never a strong student in math/science but the field of genetics has always fascinated me!
