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. |
I agree, MARS is pretty accurate and it's only getting better as they add more purebred dogs to their database. It's the best DNA testing for breed and purity out there. The only other testing that can be done is to see if a puppy is the offspring of particular parents, but if the parents are themselves not purebred, that's not very helpful. I have to say that if the AKC is registering mixed breed dogs as purebred due to lack of testing and due diligence in tracking down disreputable breeders who have been reported to them, I am disappointed (and somewhat depressed) about the whole situation.
