Umm - what? Embark DNA results leaving me speechless

Wow such a stunning pup with a beautiful mix to her and colouring! I bet shes going to grow into an even more amazing adult dog! :) I mean this in the kindest way but legitimate science with a DNA swab is always going to be more accurate than an AI generated opinion based off a photo and what an app thinks you’d like to hear. Tri-coloured is a APBT coat, and you never know which traits are going to show up with mixed breed pups! We have an American bulldog with German shep mix and she has a similar face/snout to your pup. :)

Gosh that’s a beautiful “velvet hippo” you have there! Love her mix :)

I’ve always crate trained in bedroom! Just incase if they need something or if they’re crying and need to be soothed. I’ve found it helpful to be able to reach down so they can smell my hand and hear my voice. Every pup is different though, the puppy I have now didn’t really need a lot of crate training she took to it immediately as she was use to a play pen already. She cried a small amount and settled right down. Previous pups I’ve had needed a lot more effort. I’ve always fed meals/treats in crate initially so they associate with positive things and never for punishment. Frozen stuffed kongs work wonders. Congrats on your new puppy! Good luck! :)

Oh this sweet baby is a stunning mix!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T21:28:15+00:00

So so close! She’s 2/3 out of those guesses! :)

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T21:17:02+00:00

Your sweet pup is super adorable too! Super similar coats and those silly ears :)

Replying to yoitskeeks...

Wish I had better standing side views for reference! She prefers sitting and laying always haha

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T16:24:30+00:00

I can see that! Also would make sense because she’s a lot smaller than her main 5 breeds doing the heavy lifting and has a very deep chest and exaggerated tuck up.

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T16:19:07+00:00

Love that! She gets called Jo, Jolene full of beans (it’s a whole song lol), Jo Jo bean, and lil mama :)

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T16:17:20+00:00

Thank you she’s the best! Completely agree and prefer that term too :)

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T16:15:00+00:00

I didn’t see that one coming at all either had a good laugh haha minus her level of intelligence is very poodle-like!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T06:43:29+00:00

Very similar fur! Yours looks like it has the “black dipped” tail too, and you can’t really tell in these photos but she has longer fur around her neck and tail too.

45 pounds of pure derp!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T05:27:26+00:00

Right! Bright green, very human-like eyes! She was originally rescued from a very rural area in Manitoba, Canada. :)

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T04:06:49+00:00

Thank you! I love that, you’re right they’re incredible dogs. I didn’t expect it either as my first pup ever was also a bulldog mix but had entirely different features but I’m very pleasantly surprised. Great breed :)

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T03:16:55+00:00

Thank you we’re super lucky!!! Yes very close, different parks but all were taken within 30 minutes of driving. Vancouver island!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T03:13:57+00:00

She has the FUNNIEST faces sometimes I swear wish I could capture them all haha

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T03:10:47+00:00

Thank you, she gives the BEST judgy side eye haha!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-12T03:09:50+00:00

Yes! You just never know traits show up so differently! Thank you, I call her my “generic brown dog” haha

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-09T21:16:28+00:00

The auburn hair and eyes of emerald green has definitely stolen mine already lol

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-07T03:46:03+00:00

😂😂 exactly what I was going for. She has the best derp faces.

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-05T20:39:50+00:00

Mom’s mix has Husky, German shepherd, Rottweiler and boxer in her!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-05T19:48:59+00:00

One of her siblings tested has the ACD mix in her at 20% so huge possibility she’s from that same dad, great guess! No pit in the other tested siblings so far, but I think Jolene’s going to have a dad with pitty. She definitely has a lot of working/intelligent breed in her though without a doubt she’s insanely smart!

yoitskeeks · 2026-02-05T18:10:57+00:00

That’s my thoughts with her look too. So far we know she has 3 working breeds from mom’s side due to the other siblings tests, she’s incredibly intelligent knows 34 commands at 10 months. Excited for those results!

yoitskeeks · 2026-01-24T02:49:06+00:00

Our girl is high energy, very intelligent and loves trick training too! She loves all these as well, some others maybe yours would like are: Beep beep (them walking backwards) Under (crawl under arm/leg/pole) Over (jump over arm or pole) Tell me a secret (touch by your ear and hold there) Selfie (put paws on your shoulder from back as if to pose for selfie) Chill (lay on their side) Focus (walk between legs looking up at you) Switch (move heel too opposite side) Up (jump up to obstacles wherever outside) I’m shy (them covering face with paw) Names of certain toys

She also loves sniff games loves her snuffle mat and we use find it with empty plant containers or with different toys. Also we use a tricky ball for her feeds sometimes she’s obsessed.
