Every puppy in the litters were DNA tested and still are. If you want to register a litter of parti colored puppies, you have to have the parents and every puppy in the litter DNA'd. This is what they went through to get hese parti colored babies accepted by the AKC.
So if a parti colored puppy is AKC registered,f you can bet that it was DNA tested.
i have done my homeowrk on these puppies. I was not going to spend a lot of money to buy a dog that might have been half maltese. I went to the very origin of their existence, and bought from champion bloodlines.
The original breeders went to a lot of expense to get these dogs accepted by the AKC, and the AKC did not give in easily. It took many many generations of testing before they would register them. |

I'm not saying that this is the case here, but you could have a maltese sire and yorkie dam, DNA test both parents and the pups would be approved. All that testing does is prove who the sire and dam are, not what breed they are. So in the case of possible cross breeds, its usless. There is new testing that will hopefully be able to determine breeds involved. But it' won't help with cross breeds that for many generations have been bred back to purebred yorkies.
