Second, if all the parents and grandparents of your dog appeared as Yorkie then it is almost certain your results will be Yorkshire Terrier. If there is any chance it is a Biewer Terrier then you can only do a blood test and not the cheek swab which is the more expensive test and your vet will have to do the collection.
I normally support the MARS test to determine breeds but in your case it may be a waste of money. Your dog is really cute in the pictures. If you do not plan on breeding her then I would skip the expense. |
Actually, according to the Wisdom Panel website, the Parsons Russell Terrier is virtually the same as the Jack Russell--just a different name for the same breed. The name difference has to do with kennel club turf war issues.
