Meet Huxley, the Imposter Golden. Think Huxley is part Golden Retriever? So did everyone else. Golden coat. Fluffy tail. Sweet face. Seems obvious, right? Then his Embark results came back: 0% Golden Retriever. Yep. Zero. Turns out, what you see isn't always the full story. Uncover your dog's full story.

Wait.. how is that possible? We see it all the time. Dogs that look exactly like one breed, but their DNA tells a completely different story. Just like: Border Collies with zero Collie, a poodle mix that ended up 100% Xoloitzcuintle, and Huxley... a Golden with none at all. What you see (their appearance or phenotype) is just a tiny slice of their DNA. In fact, less than 1% of genes control how a dog looks. The rest? It's hidden beneath the surface, shaping their health risks, personality, behavior, allergies, you name it. One simple test can unlock your dog's true mix.

More than a guess—it's science. Embark's DNA test goes beyond looks to reveal your dog's tree breed mix wit industry-leading accuracy. Unlock your dog's true mix.
