Chemdawg
Chemdawg is linked by Leafly to the original Chemdog name and a 1991 bag-seed account attributed to breeder Chemdog. Finding seeds in acquired material explains a discovery story, not the identity of both parent plants. The source distinguishes Chem 91, Chem 4 and Chem Sis as variations, which should not be collapsed into interchangeable specimens. Chemical, diesel and pungent are reader descriptors; the names alone do not identify measured ingredients or authenticated genetics.

Leafly — Stardawg identity and lineage ↗How to read these relationships
Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.
Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.
Cannabinoid profile
Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown.
Leafly source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-16Concentrations vary by sample. A cultivar name alone does not establish potency.
Terpenes & aroma
Catalog-listed terpenes. Dominance is shown only where the source states it; percentages are unavailable unless separately recorded.
Similar strains
Similarity uses catalog reference chemistry, reported attributes and lineage. Missing data is excluded; this is not an effects prediction.
Motorbreath, sometimes written Motor Breath, is described by Leafly through Chemdog and SFV OG Kush. The latter name is kept distinct from SFV OG, which has its own profile. Its fuel-related descriptors are attributed reader impressions rather than proof of a particular terpene concentration.
Reported parentage ↗
Permanent Marker is a modern hybrid that Leafly connects to Biscotti, a Sherb backcross and Jealousy. This entry keeps that reported family context separate from sample-specific chemistry and reader-reported experience tags.
Reported parentage ↗
Animal Face is described by Leafly as a Face Off OG and Animal Mints cross associated with Seed Junky genetics. The catalog value and reported attributes remain reference data rather than sample-level measurements.

Accessed 2026-09-14 - Leafly — chemdawg catalog parameters
Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown. Terpene names and documented order come from the catalog; concentrations are not supplied. Effects, flavors and negative effects are reader-reported tags. The report count covers the profile as a whole, not individual tags.
Accessed 2026-09-16 - Leafly — Chemdawg: identity recheck
Identity check: Leafly attributes the 1991 account to an interview with Chemdog and distinguishes named variations. Outstanding: the original interview/archival record and parent-plant provenance. The account does not establish an immediate parent pair; original unknown parentage is retained.
