Why doesn't my breed have Matchmaker?

The ability to provide a Matchmaker that will be useful and effective for a breed has many factors including the number of intact dogs of that breed tested with Embark, concordance between registries, closed stud books, the establishment of a defined breed signature, and input from the breeding community on the health risk and coat color and trait tests that are most desired in such a tool.

While we are not able to provide you with a timeline as to if or when a specific breed will meet the criteria, we encourage breeders to continue to test with an Embark for Breeders DNA test to provide for the most mate options if the tool becomes available.

You can find a list of the breeds with access to Matchmaker here: Is Matchmaker available for my dog's breed?
