100% pure yorkie. The reason is that yorkies were bred down from numerous breeds in Europe to obtain the type of dogs they wanted. I am sure you can pull up the old threads on this discussion previously (many conversations) |
Most of these un-pure dogs just have dna information on the sire, mom is not dna, so these cheating breeders can say that a pure breed reg yorkie was the mom, when it was actually a chocolate colored mixed breed.
Why do mar's, pure breed test yorkies if it is impossible to tell? I think Mar's test are pretty accurate, I can see it being out a 1 or 2 percent but not 25% mix breed.
Mar's test have improved a lot since the other treads.
