If science doesn't lie, and the MARS test is valid for testing Biewers (or other purebred dogs), then MARS would not be afraid of lawsuits and would happily take peoples money to have their dogs tested.
Gayle, I think you are correct in stating the 'cups half full' theory in that some people have the ability to interpret just about anything in a way that is advantageous to their own personal needs/desires. 
I personally love my furbabies as members of my family and am not concerned about their 'worth' in terms of dollar figures. My babies give more to me more than any amount of money ever could. My dedication to the breed is out of love and admiration...not motivated by greed, or some higher sense of self worth. |
I agree That is why, in a situation like this, where there is no concreto answer, it is important to investigate all the information, and not to draw conclusions until all of the available evidence has been taken into account.
To take a statement like
"It is not possible for us to definitively state with current knowledge and technology what (if any) other breeds than Yorkshire Terrier were present in the foundation of the Biewer terriers pedigrees and what gene (or genes) are causing the distinctive coloration seen in the Biewer terriers." and conclude that it means that the are not purebred yorkies, is really stretching things.
that is not seeing the cup as half full, that is being dilusional. That is seeing a full cup where only the watermasrk is left on the table.
