I'm not a genetist--I can't even spell it right--but what happened is that there is now a test that can tell you the heridity of your dog--what is in its pedigree--ancestory. The Biewers have separate and distinct alleles/markers/genes than yorkies. With this distinction, the breed has been accepted into a well-known organization for showing on its progression into AKC acceptance. That will still probably take 5 or more years but it is wonderful and exciting to be at this point in Biewer history. |
