I don't think an 84% accuracy rate is anything to write home about. If someone tests a yorkie and the test comes back yorkie then great, but the MARS company actually says that this test is not designed to test purebred dogs. Plus, with an 84% accuracy rate, how can you really trust what the test results are? I guess they *might* be correct but from some of the results I've seen, I'd almost guess the test is even less accurate than that 84%
