Let me introduce myself. I am Iris Star, of Stars Classical www.biewerterrier.com. I am a Board member of the Biewer Terrier Club of America (BTCA). An extreme amount of expense and continued expense is going into the genetical testing of the Biewer Terrier. It has been proven by our private study to be a pure bred dog. We have not shared all those studies as it is still in the making. We are not here to offend anybody, but to set the record straight. The BTCA is trying, through genetic testing, prove once and for all the Biewer Terrier is a purebred dog. All tests done individually are going to come back with unclear or negative results.  You must be in a controlled group to understand what the testing is all about and you must be a participant within that group. I am, and never was here to start trouble. Just to set the facts straight. As a young generation you may or may not be, you are seeing history in the making through genetic testing. |
Why do it privately if you are "here to "
educate" Most who are blessed with the profession of educating are accredited in their area of "expertise"
The dogs you are testing are yours, your club. So what you come up with will be what you come up with based on the testing of your dogs.
Please do not be offended and contiuously on the offensive when someone disagrees or has a different opinion on studies than you do.
This is after all, about discussion, not who is qualified to "educate" the public.
