How to include your dog or dogs in Matchmaker

First, make sure Matchmaker is available for your dog's breed.

If Matchmaker is available, your dog needs to meet the following criteria in order to appear:

• The dog must have been DNA tested using an Embark for Breeders DNA test.
• The dog must be registered to an Embark account with a Kennel Profile
• The dog must be marked as intact on his or her profile.
• The owner must have opted in to the Matchmaker tool.
• Breed Results must be set to "Public."

If you're a co-owner, you must also be added as Shared Owner for that dog.

I know there are more dogs of my breed that have been Embarked, why do I not see these dogs in Matchmaker?

It may be because those dogs don't meet the above criteria. If you have any questions about a specific dog, we recommend that you reach out to the owner. 

The owner can also contact us for help opting their dogs into Matchmaker.
