You're never going to get a 100% answer for anything. Don't you realize that they have to word things very carefully because this world is SUE CRAZY. People would be dragging them into court every time they turned around if they said someone's dog wasn't a purebred.
Interpret as you like, I interpret your red highlighted area as saying, they don't know what breeds were used in the foundation meaning the beginning. Some people see a half empty glass of water, where others see it as half full.
It says there are other elements in the breed, which means it is not a purebred Yorkie. The other elements didn't get there just because the BTCA said so.
And why would you get a false reading when testing a purebred? Who in the heck came up with that? We tested numerous purebreds and guess what? They all came back PUREBREDS and were in the cluster with there own PUREBRED group. |
What she posted was from the people who do the testing. She didn't make it up. and yes that is what I get from the letter, is that they are yorkshire terriers, which, according to the Biewers that developed the breed, is what they are.
I find it very amusing that people accuse us parti breeders of trying to change the breed standard, and "some of you" biewer breeders are trying to change the entire breed, just by saying that the "history" is all a lie.
We are not trying to discredit the "history" of the yorkshire terrier, we are using what history we can find, to prove that the piebald gene has always been there.
At least I know where my dogs came from and who their ancestors are.
