I like many here, was very surprised at the test results. But I do have some questions floating around in my head. Exactly who are the Yorkies that make up their (Mars) comparative database? Registered Yorkies with what registry?

Did they (Mars) cross reference or somehow obtain the DNA results from AKC that does have DNA information on purebred Yorkies?

As a breeder, of a Rare Breed that is relatively new, I would expect to get some very small % of non BRT if I was to do a Wisdom Panel test - but then again, I doubt very much if they have many BRT's in their database.

I do agree with some other posters here, that the breeder should refrain from mating that particular pair again.

I also think that the breeder given a pup that seemed so far off the breed standard would have DNA'd the parents to make sure that pup was from those parents. If the answer was yes, then well and good, and at least a comment from the breeder to the buyer about how far off standard this puppy was.

It is quite sad to see so many Yorkies that look so far off standard.

What is important is that Minnie is in a good home.
