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.  |
Just thought I'd add a link here, so everyone can read through and make their own decisions regarding ARBA. It does bring up some interesting points.

As far as the MARS test, I think I'll wait until they get their bugs worked out. As much as I tried, I just can't see where a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Saluki has been introduced into the background of my cute little black/blue white and gold Biewer. Although, I could somewhat consider the Saluki when the little rat takes off around the back of the house chasing birds...
These are some of the breeds that the MARS testing have included in the background of the Biewer. Based on their website, they can only test back to the 3rd generation. Hmmm???
