Highly recommend Embark! The results take a while to come back, but it was totally worth the wait. There's actually some surveys and other cool things to do during this time, so it doesn't seem to take so long.
Here's my youngest's profile: Derby!!
The $129.99 price is not reflected on camelcamelcamel, but save one day when it looks like Embark was listed for $10 (where was I when this happened?!) this is the lowest price ever historically on Amazon. (source)
Chewy is also matching this price today!
Fyi you can be sure by doing a dog dna test: Embark | Dog DNA Test | Breed Identification | 160 Health Results | 200K Genetic Markers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EINBA76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.DHlDbMXZC9F7
Looks 100% newfie to me.
I don't think it's a Shar Pei - they're wrinkly, yes, but I don't see any other traits in there. It looks to me like a Bloodhound mix. Note the big ears and dark saddle. There may also be some Labrador in there.
Have you considered a dog DNA test? Wisdom Panel 3.0 ($80) is pretty basic and will tell you what breed your pup is, while Embark Veterinary ($170) gives you the breed as well as a comprehensive DNA health screen.

I actually purchased a kit for my girlfriend this last Christmas and it was worth it! She loved getting to know her dog better (especially since she picked her up off the street). It was the Embark Dog DNA Test: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EINBA76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sRQ9ybE5ZD3B7.
First time seeing Fakespot, but you’re comparing Embark’s Breed & Health test to Wisdom Panel’s Breed test— when you look at the Fakespot score for the WP B&H, it gets a C with only a few reviews.
I also checked ReviewMeta to get a better idea of why the sites think Embark’s reviews are fake and, based on just that, I think the rating is unfair. The unverified purchases can be explained by Embark having lots of sales through their website or people receiving it as a gift; there is only 1 review they flagged as being incentivized out of 590, and it gave the product a 1.0; the “reviewer ease” score just means people who reviewed the product rate stuff 0.1 points higher than people who didn’t which, though it says that’s unnatural, I’m willing to overlook. The only one that stands out to me is “reviewer participation”— most reviewers have posted less than 15 total reviews on Amazon— but even that, I can overlook. If the product is overwhelmingly impressive, people are more likely to rate it. I think people also just like sharing their results; I plan to write a review once I get my dog’s back even though I rarely write reviews.
What makes me think that Embark’s reviews are genuine are the word count comparison and phrase repetition scores. Fake reviews tend to be short and repetitive, and Embark’s are anything but. The only things that tripped the review sites’ detectors were that the reviews were overwhelmingly positive and 35% from unverified purchasers, which both could just mean that people liked the product and were excited to share their results regardless of where they purchased it.
I actually barely looked at Amazon when deciding between Embark and Wisdom Panel. There are a bunch of articles out there comparing the two and nearly all of them say Embark seems more accurate or gives more detail, has a better user interface, and has better customer service.
