In regards to your inquiry, we would say that it depends how recently in the
dogs lineage would the other breed have influences on whether we would be able
to detect and report them. The limitation of the technology, at the current
moment in time, is really only able to detect breeds present at the great
grandparent generation. Anything beyond that is likely beyond our reliable
detection capabilities of the test at present.
We hope this answers your inquiry. If you have any additional questions, please
do not hesitate to contact us at customercare@marsveterinary.com or

It's where the dog falls on the graph that's important. If it's a Yorkie, it will be in the Yorkie cluster, if it's a Biewer Terrier it's in the Biewer cluster, Shih Tzu, Shih Tzu cluster, etc......
The Yorkies we tested all fell in the Yorkie cluster. Very interesting.
