The AKC won't take this test as proof of being a purebred. I think they only use the DNA test to determine if the offspring is truly the offspring of a certain parent.
Yorkiemommy1984, which type of test did you do, and can you scan the results, we might be able to gain more information. |
Hi Nancy, I believe that somewhere earlier in the thread, Jen stated that it was a breed purity test, so that would be a Wisdom Panel/MARS test. I would love to see the actual test results too, because the breed purity tests tell you how closely the DNA matched that of other certified purebred Yorkshire Terriers. I'd like to know if Minnie's results were in the middle of other Yorkies' results, or whether, they were on the fringe. Oh, and since the vet took the DNA sample, the likelihood of a contaminated sample is much lower.
