Kathy785 had her biewer tested and one time posted the results...I don't remember any percentage given...it include yorkie, maltese, and an unknown marker. Interesting side note....not all the dogs tested had identical genetic markers.

I have been told the test itself identifies back thru 8 generations.
Do we know how many lines of yorkshire terriers were tested as a comparison to the Biewer tests? In other words, did the "pure" yorkshire terriers come back with only yorkshire terrier in their percentages?

I believe I had read somewhere (a few weeks ago) that the Mars test only had an 82% accuracy rate (it was an article about the test). I couldn't find that info on the site that you posted?
