The best way for the other clubs to get a better understanding of these tests and what they mean is to get all of their members to test their dogs. The BTCA spent thousands of dollars and tested over 100 dogs from every line here in America. Now there are some that don't want to spend the monies to find out what is the genetic make up of their dogs and want the BTCA to "give" them the results.
Worse yet, there are others that don't even have an inkling of what the tests mean or how genetics work and are on here trying to make an argument by looking up words in the dictionary. This is comparing apples to oranges.
Until a signature is developed for a breed it will show as a mixed breed. The majority of modern day purebreds are a combination of more than 2 breeds.
So long as there are dog fanciers there will continue to be development of new breeds. |
