Only the three tests mentioned at the start of the Embark thread are relevant to Yorkshire Terriers. The other hundred or so have not been proven to be diagnostic in Yorkies. If I were getting genetic disease testing done, I'd go through a company that only tests for individual conditions, and just get the ones done that are relevant to Yorkies (your vet should have this information). If that proves to be too expensive, Wisdom Panel does a genetic health screening test that is less expensive than Embark and tests for the same conditions: https://shop.wisdompanel.com/product...m-panel-health
