Dogs can go back 8 generations and pick up markers. Just because a test says Saluki, doesn't mean a Saluki was bred within the dogs last 3 generations. It doesn't mean that Saluki was ever bred in the mix. It means when they tested, that a certain amount of chromosomes that most resembled the DNA make up of a Saluki were involved.
Looking at one dogs test alone, means nothing. You have to see where they are in relation to 139 other breeds in the big picture. You have to take the breeds most closely related and place them in a comparison chart with your breed.
When 100 random dogs tested in the mutt test were scattered all over the board, and ours form a nice neat little cluster, that told us that we had a very distinct breed, not a mutt and not a Yorkshire Terrier.
There is not one dog on this Earth that did not originate from the wolf, so therefore no totally purebred dog. All dogs are a mixture of something. There has never been a purebred marker developed for the Biewer Terrier, so the MARS test is perfect for this dog.
The test that the BBCI submitted 3 dogs too, proves even further that the Biewer Terrier has had another dog introduced.
I have spoken with Dr. Sheila and she did not make the statement that no other breed was introduced for the piebald gene to be present.
I have posted the genetic make up of the Yorkie and everybody that knows Yokies, knows there is no piebald (sp) gene in the Yorkie, thus something else introduced.
Everyday you get in a car you have a 50/50 chance of making it where you re going safely. The MARS test is 84% accurate, so that means 84 of the 100 dogs we tested were accurate, and we have a distinctly different breed from any other breed on Earth. FYI, all 100 dogs tested in the same group. |
