The "what's your dog" or the "mixed breed heredity tests" only can go as far as 3 generations. Does not do coat color, genetic diseases, coat length, color patterns etc. So a Parti Yorkie, Biewer or regular Yorkie tests the same at this point in those tests. Don't be fooled into giving your money for a test that says...yup, Yorkie.
Parti Yorkies have coloration randomly. Biewers have an established pattern and strict standard.
Perhaps this should be moved to a new thread? I love discussing the breeds....BTW I still have my heart tied to Yorkies and can't live without them.  |
This is where I got my info about Biewers and Yorkies being Genetically differerent:

That will still probably take 5 or more years but it is wonderful and exciting to be at this point in Biewer history. |
The more I look at Biewers, the more I am liking them. I think I'll definitely have to get one one day. Maybe by then, they'll be an AKC registered breed.
