I don't know the results from everyone's dogs, but I have seen the chart where they plotted the Biewers' results and some known purebred yorkies. The Biewer dots were pretty much clumped together and away from the yorkie dots, which were also clumped.
My Biewers turned out for the most part to be yorkie and maltese and unidentifiable. I guess that explains the cottony coats!
I still suggest that everyone tests their dogs. It is not 100% accurate, but 80% is better than no information at all. Many people have said on the forums that we need to gather information. This is a form of information whether you want to do the test or not.
My dogs have the regular DNA profiles and now the MARS DNA profile. I do blood profiles for information, and vet exams for information. I try to gather EVERYTHING I can, not just what I think will be favorable.
