For instance, if the pup turns out mixed and one of yours turns out mixed, then you have a claim against the breeder you got that dog(s) from.
However, if all you have is the pup's DNA results that show it is a mix, the breeder could claim that she sold you pure-bred Yorkies and some other dog got involved with your dam. Without getting your dogs DNA tested to show that at least one of them is mixed, you can't prove that didn't happen. Your DNA results on your 2 along with the pups will prove beyond any doubt that the pup is an offspring of those specific 2 dogs. You should get those 2 DNA tested immediately, unless you are aware of something that you aren't telling us. |
Actually, the purpose of the MARS test isn't to prove whether two specific dogs are the parents of a particular puppy, but it will tell you whether the parents are purebred Yorkies or not. If the two parents test out to be purebred, but Minnie is mixed, then that means that Minnie's father was NOT who he is purported to be. If one or both parents are mixed, and Minnie is mixed, that could explain why Minnie is mixed. And if Minnie is a purebred Yorkie, then I'll eat my hat
