Are we talking about the same dog? Sally's dog's ears look very much like hound ears to me

True! And a lot of BYB and/or field bred Labs will have ears like that. They can also change how they hold them depending on mood. Also she is part GSD too so that would make them more upright and/or cause wonky ears mixed with a floppy eared breed or two lol

Also keep in mind that these genetics tests are far from accurate, especially on mixed breeds. The important thing is that she's a beautiful and loved dog who had a wonderful life with you

Oh, she is definitely loved! The DNA test (don't recall which company) was just for fun.

Heeler and German shepherd have to be in there somewhere. Maybe a bit of demon, oh I'm sorry, I mean chihuahua?

No chihuahua, but you're right on german shepherd and cattle dog!! (I think heeler means cattle dog?)
Though these are only a small part of her

GSD, some kind of cattle or herding breed other than a GSD. One breed I cannot remember the name of, a little bit of greyhound, some Husky, and a spaniel maybe. No chi hate on my watch !

She's got a few herding breeds!

Embark is the most accurate one. Wisdom second best and it was pretty accurate on my brother’s dogs but not mine. Or rather, it as okay until they updated mine and added all these random breeds LOL but I 100% believe the Embark.

I've heard this! I went with wisdom after reading lots of positive reviews but I know it won't be 100% accurate. Turned out to be quite accurate, as far as we know about her, it lines up! It's nice to have an idea on her at least!

That’s good! I think it’s accurate for some dogs but not all. Idk. It does give a good idea for sure.

Okay, drumroll please...

According to the labs testing, she is:
45% siberian husky
30% labrador retriever
6% border collie
5% german shepherd
3% alaskan malamute
3% collie (lassie)
3% cattle dog
2% australian kelpie
2% samoyed
1% australian shepherd

She was adopted as a husky mix, so I'm willing to believe this! Percentages are going to be somewhat a guess though really. I guessed a bit of australian kelpie, so I'm proud of myself!

Some collie, Australian shepherd, Australian cattle dog

Maybe at some point I'll do embark as well and see how it measures up!
