My guess is that there would be a wide variety among the traditional yorkies as well. Tere are many different lines out there and not all yorkie lines were produced from the same combination of dogs.

This DNAing to determine breed is not very accurate. It really isn't even designed to determine whether or not a dog is pure bred. at this point it is more of a novelty.
