I think that it would be very interesting to see what the Mars tests show on the Parti yorkies.
The spotting gene for the parti is different than the Biewer. Most of the partis have a lot of white on them.. the one you are referring to has the black clear to the back where you cannot see it in the picture.

I see no need to do the mars testing because they are from a line that was extensively DNA'd, by the AKC, as far back as they could go and were satisfied that they were yorkies. I trust the breeder that I bought them from. I see no point in trying to prove something that all the involved parties already agree on.

The mars testing is not designed to determine purebred dogs, by their own admission, and I believe that the testing is too new to put too much faith in.
