Yes there is. It is the same testing they do with humans to determine parentage. They test both parents and they test the puppies and they can tell if these puppies came from these parents. Just like they can with people.

They cannot tell what breed the parents are from the DNA.

But if the parents are both registered yorkies and the grand parents are all registered yorkies and they are registered by a long tiem reputasble show breeder with an established relationship with the AKC, then you can be reasonably certain that the dog are who the the breeder claims that they are.

I'm am sure that the AKC would not have done all of this for just any breeder.

Please do your research on these dogs, as I have done. I have not been misinformed, and these breeders are VERY reputable breeders in good standing with the AKC with a very long line of chasmpions.

In fact if you study this you will find that most of these abnormalities are derived from show champions, because those are the dogs that are inbred or closely line bred and that is when and how these recessive genes surface.
