As far as the mentioned lawsuit, it was not specifically about the MARS test, I only know that for awhile, the Biewer Terrier was removed from the list and was unaware that they put it back up. Diana

Donating YT 10K Club Member | MARS never removed biewer terrier from their website. It had been listed under the test for mixed breeds but seems now their products have all changed into a singular one.

| actually, I believe it was gone for awhile.. people said they couldn't find it.. I went and looked for it when they asked me too.. and I couldn't find it either. I really don't know why it wasn't listed but it wasn't anywhere on the site.. I don't know for how long or the reasoning behind it.. just know it was not there when I looked. I was secretly hoping they had a "Eureka' moment.. but I guess that's not the case since it's back again ha.. such a pity Diana

| The story of the "original" Biewers is filled with holes. The FACT is that the whole story is based on a story passed on from person to person. Before DNA pedigrees were an honor systems from which many of the German imports had falsified papers. Sad as it may be it is true. The MARS testing has been tried over and over and it does give an accurate result with a very small margin of error contrary to what some say, even those who admit to never doing it or even knowing anyone who has. No one can definitively say their dogs are direct descendents of the Biewers dogs because many of the lines out of Germany had "doctored" papers and the biggest Biewer registry in Germany that people like to reference will register Yorkies, Biewers, Biros and Golddust and allows all of them to cross so this is not credible. The original Biewer and its truth is and will be a mystery. through the years yorkies were bred with "Biewers" and other breeds and new genes entered the gene pool resulting in what is known today as "Biewers" and the BTCA, regardless of the nay sayers, has used the research study and the MARS test to help have the breed recognized as a PURE BREED in America byt the American Rare Breed Assoc. in South Africa by the KUSA and in Brasil by the CBKC. I have done my research for a very long time and I have been in dogs for 26 years and I am quite convinced that Biewer Terriers are not Yorkies. Crossing Biewers and yorkies gets you a mixed breed. plain and simple. Now there are Biros and golddusts?? What next? Biewer Terriers DO NOT produce these new colors, why not?? Beacuse they are a breed not a variety of yorkie. Sorry to those who will dispute me but I need no more proof, this is a breed. |

I'm sorry to hear about the health of your Biewers . For a point of reference, were these BTCA Biewers, or Biewers derived from more recent crosses to Yorkies? I'm just trying to absorb as much information as possible. | |

Those that care to put their passion aside, and to try to understand the science, might get their world view expanded. And those that want only to understand only their fixed point of view, will remain fixated on that. It truly is the KISS principle. That is an ancient term I know which defines my age

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I don't believe in the "science" of MARS testing for any breed or mix. Period. I never tested my biewers...but know others which did when the test was originally offered. Saluki came back as a result and basset hound in another. The test can only determine within 3 generations. I've seen some biewers with large ears...but not basset hound size. This was one test result. There are others just as off the wall. MARS also communicated the test is fallible to AKC. Scroll down to page 4 regarding a request by the parent club of Norwich terriers. https://images.akc.org/pdf/board_minutes/0712.pdf I know people which knew the two breeds behind their mixed breed litters...and the results were no where close.

In full disclosure, I have a little guy reserved for me in Virginia right now. And I will say that when I was looking for one, I found that the prices were comparable no matter how the pup was registered and whatever "club" affiliation the breeder had. I think they're pricey because they are so darn cute! Tracey | |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | My puppies are priced no more than any reputable show breeder of any breed asks. I show in the venues in which I'm allowed under AKC judges, I health test my breeding pairs, my puppies have liver panels done along with regular screenings, my contract is more generous than most, I stand behind my breedings. I'm doing all I can... to produce healthy puppies. And yes they are pretty dang cute too.

| The MARS test that must be performed is the the Wisdom Panel PROFESSIONAL Unrivaled Dog Breed Detection & Accuracy - Wisdom Panel Professional which is a blood draw NOT the cheek swab test. The cheek swab test does not compare the same markers as the blood test. The cheek swab test will have some odd results however the blood draw test is quite accurate. While many people say they have not used it or they have a friend who did etc., I can say I personally have tried it on Biewers as well as mixes to test the accuracy for my own knowledge and it was 100% spot on for each of the tests I performed. |

The Blood test is quite accurate and I say this with my own personal first hand experience. I tested Biewers as well as some mixes to check the accuracy of the test and it was 100% spot on! The cheek swab test is not the same as the blood test. |
