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. |
I am glad that you trust your breeder. Do you know how far back they could go on testing the lines? Is it true that the AKC does not require that both parents be DNA tested?
With BTRA registry both parents are required to be DNA tested in order to register the litters.
Funny about what you say that Mars says since the BTCA submitted only one AKC registered yorkie to be tested, it came back as a purebred yorkie in the yorkie cluster and not amongst the Biewers. Hmmmmm
