I am going to give a lay persons explanation. Always of course understanding that a 100percent breed DNA identification is not done yet.

I will start with my breed brt,s. less than 50years ago this breed got recognized as a new and distinct breed. The development of the bred spanned almost 20 years and included some 20 odd breeds.

As fanciers And judges we did not go on DNA analysis, but on form,function,behaviour,and to a certain extent color.

One keystone prior to recognition is the repeated breeding s for types over many generations.

These dogs breed true to themselves

From the rottie the giant schnauzer the Newfoundland and the Airedale terrier the four main contributors came our breed. The brt.

They bred true to their
Type

You can see glimmers of their ancestors in the blackies we have today.

The old breeders had a vision of what they wanted,which spanned a huge field encompassing size appearance temperament structure and function.

And they patiently bred for that.

And let me remind you all without the benefit of the science we have today!

So to my mind is the biewer significantly different in all those qualities I mentioned?

Then the incoming is this single gene analysis. Does a single gene make or break a breed?

Food for thought
