Will my dog's relatives appear on the family tree?

Our Family Tree feature doesn’t actually show your dog’s exact relatives. Rather, it shows the breeds of your dog’s ancestors to give you a better sense of how they contributed to your dog’s breed makeup. 

For dogs where a family tree is provided, we do not show your dog’s relatives that have also been tested with Embark. If your dog has access to Relative Finder, you'll potentially be able to see and connect with close relatives!

Our family tree feature shows the breeds that your pup’s recent ancestors were, to help you better understand how your dog’s breed makeup came to be from his or her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. 

We do understand the benefit of a genetically-based kennel pedigree or a pedigree that incorporates other Embarked dogs that have been opted into public data sharing, and this may become a feature in the future.
