Embark Age Test
Based on what I've been reading, it really wouldn't be beneficial to do the Embark Age Test on my pup that I took in as a stray about 4 months ago. When I took her to her initial vet visit, the vet estimated her to be around 7-8 months old. So now she should be approaching the 1-year mark, but she still seems super puppyish and I'm wondering if she could be younger than the vet estimated. I know I'll probably never know her true age unless a littermate pops up on her Wisdom Panel, but it's so annoying not knowing her actual age or birthday. Since the margin of error is like 18 months, I'm guessing doing an age test on a dog under 1 is pointless. What are your thoughts?

57% heeler and 19% pug….but I don’t see pug at all. I do, however, agree with the 100% good dog.

Results are finally in for Loki
This cutie was born in Texas in May 2024 and rescued by destination rescue. They were able to rescue his mom at the same time, but dad was a mystery.
