Mixed Ancestry

  • Henry, a Miniature Schnauzer and Bichon Frise mix tested with EmbarkVet.com Henry, a Miniature Schnauzer and Bichon Frise mix tested with EmbarkVet.com

“Henry was rescued by monks in Shanghai. We adopted him through Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue in Seattle on 4.3.22. He’s sweet, extremely smart, cuddly and likes to tap his feet when excited. He was severely underweight (less than 15lbs) when found in Oct. 2020. Today he tips the scales at 24lbs. Our first rescue dog, we are in love with this special boy. Our vet thinks Henry is Tibetan Terrier though the rescue said Schnoodle. Looking forward to seeing the DNA results.”

A1a

Henry’s Haplogroup

A1a is the most common maternal lineage among Western dogs. This lineage traveled from the site of dog domestication in Central Asia to Europe along with an early dog expansion perhaps 10,000 years ago. It hung around in European village dogs for many millennia. Then, about 300 years ago, some of the prized females in the line were chosen as the founding dogs for several dog breeds. That set in motion a huge expansion of this lineage. It's now the maternal lineage of the overwhelming majority of Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers and Gordon Setters. About half of Boxers and less than half of Shar-Pei dogs descend from the A1a line. It is also common across the world among village dogs, a legacy of European colonialism.

A534

Henry’s Haplotype

Part of the A1a haplogroup, the A534 haplotype occurs most commonly in Small Poodles and European Village Dogs.

Shar Pei dogs think A1a is the coolest!

A2b

Henry’s Haplogroup

A2b appears to have split a few times in succession, which means that some of the Central Asian male ancestors of this lineage went their separate ways before their respective Y chromosomes made their rounds. There is not much diversity in this lineage, meaning that it has only begun to take off recently. Two iconic breeds, the Dachshund and Bloodhound, represent this lineage well. Over half of Rottweilers are A2b, as are the majority of Labrador Retrievers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. While A2a is restricted mostly to East Asia, this paternal line is also found among European breeds.

Hc.2

Henry’s Haplotype

Part of the A2b haplogroup, this haplotype has been found in Chinese Shar-pei and village dogs in Papua New Guinea.

A2b is found in the Daschund breed.
