Since the test is designed to be used for determining the heritage of
mixed breed dogs, I doubt if the results would carry any weight legally. To date, there isn't a test to prove if a dog is purebred or not.
Whether Ksena is a purebred Yorkie way off standard or a mix, it really doesn't matter as it won't change her appearance. Since the OP saw in in person before she purchased her, I doubt she has any recourse except returning her to the breeder.
Puppies from backyard breeders and pet shops/puppy mills usually grow up to be pretty far from the breed standard.
