Yes this is what Mars said but they also said they can't tell if any other dog was mixed in or if it is a color gene they picked up. Some dogs tested to have Bassett Hound in them also to name another breed. How many different dogs were mixed in to get the Biewer that looks like a Yorkie. Also there are differences found in the genes of a European Yorkie and an American Yorkie so it only makes sense that it would show a difference if a dog carries the piebald gene versus one that is not a carrier.
I would also like to know if there is a certain mix now that is concidered a Biewer Terrier or if all mixes are accepted. What happens if a Biewer is tested and it comes out pure Yorkshire is that not a Biewer Terrier? Is both a Yorkie/Maltese and a Yorkie/Japanese Chin accepted in the registery?
