This dog sits in the Golden Retriever cluster, with genome overlap to Labrador Retriever - sister breeds nearby in the atlas.

Breed similarity from non-negative least squares against 91 breed centroids in PCA-256 space, corrected for atlas sample-size imbalance. Without correction, Goldens (22% of the atlas) leak into every dog's raw NNLS breakdown; with it, the bias falls out. Raw fractions stay in the dataset for re-derivation.

1. Golden Retriever 78%
2. Labrador Retriever 22%

The atlas reads body size, legs, coat, ears and skull shape through one marker each. We checked every marker against breeds that visibly have and lack its trait, and none yet tells them apart, so this page shows no trait calls for This dog.
