Dachshund, not so much. But with dog breeding being such a recent thing, dice might be as good as anything else.

Critterfixer Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Afternoon. I'm alive, as per the ITT regs. Just busy. About to get the week's schedules done and then take the boys and go do art with family. Then home to cook and write after that. And early bedtime. The cat woke me up very early for a Sunday and I'm sleepy. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their references ranges have to be horrid. I wish I had had more info on exactly what their reference ranges are, but of course they won't provide them- proprietary. I am now thinking they use some dice with dog breeds on each side. I purposely did not send a picture of him on his account to help blind it. This guy is an 80+ lb tank with a mane on him like a LGD and collie coloring and has killed coyotes. This is not a small dog. They sent me back he's huge percent dachshund. Sure. Whatever Embark dudes. I cannot believe I gave money to their corporation. This is why I hate commercial genetics companies-they're all crooked and full of it- I should have stuck with my inclinations. I am so ticked.

I'm not going to be legalistic about the type of spaniel. The temples clearly show the dachshund. That was a joke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1 hour ago, Æthelflæd said: He is a lovely dog. He was rescued off the side of a major Houston freeway at less than 5 weeks old by an offshore oil rig worker. He had a massive flea infestation, was starving and missing most of his hair. The gentleman saved him, took him to the vet and got him all fixed up, but sadly could not keep him with being out on a rig 30 days at a time. So we snatched him up when told about him and he has been my dd's dog ever since. One evening she was feeding the horses and a big pack of very large coyotes came up around her and this dog saw, escaped out of the dog yard to her rescue before we even knew what was happened, and attacked the whole pack, killing one. Our vet calls him the Coyote Slayer. We took him in and he didn't have a scratch on him. He is super sweetheart. And loves Jeep rides. 🙂 We have one cat for each dog. We are just animal people. 🙂 We always have to caution anyone who comes to our house- hey we have several cats and dogs, so if you're allergic, Zyrtec up, or we can meet you somewhere! Awwww, that story should be on one of those Dodo videos I love to watch. I love animal rescue stories.🥰 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 20 minutes ago, Æthelflæd said: Okay, since some of y'all have an eye for dogs, would you mind making some predictions on what you think is the genetic history of this girl? We got her at the SPCA so we have no idea. Dd and I are guessing Pit, Lab, and something like whippet or some sort of smaller sight hound. Maybe some small terrier too. She's probably the smartest dog I've ever had. She was wicked fast up until the last couple of months when the arthritis has gotten so bad, and could usually out run our Doberman except on a long distance straight away. In light of my predictions, I am guessing Embark is going to come back with something totally random like Poodle, Chihuahua, and Pomeranian that has no basis on planet earth. Although I could believe her having dachshund in her before I could the other dog. She has a double coat and sheds like the dickens, but no webbed feet. She is also about 80 lbs, and the right half of her face was completely brindle until she got old. First is close up so you can see her ears. She does not have a heavy/thick jaw though like our pit. Her muzzle is slender. She's almost 12, so her waist used to be more cut/slender which showed off her deep chest. DAT'S A PIT! I see hound, I do not see lab. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 49 minutes ago, Æthelflæd said: The only reason I think some lab is the double coat. I could make a whole wardrobe out of her shed undercoat if wearing dog hair fiber was a thing. She sheds worse than the alleged Cocker-Dachshund-Weimaraner. He has the occasional tumbleweed come across the floor, but you don't get a ton off him brushing. She can wear out a Furminator a couple of times a year. He is low shed. I would consider her Medium High to High shedder. All kinds of dogs will do that. I think hound. A sight hound but the pit is shortening the snout. I want to say some type of wolf hound but typically mutts are not made from fancy breeds. Matt says terrier. I could almost buy Airedale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
