What do you think of my Terrier guys?
I think personally he's yorkie, cairn terrier, jack russel, and maybe a hint of bichon(just from how smooth and soft his fur is.)
What do you guys think? I plan on updating his DNA results soon enough once I get them.

Problems with Wisdom Panel
We had always tested our dogs through Wisdom Panel. So we sent them in for our latest rescue pup. But we never got results and I contacted them and they said problems with processing at the lab and they would reprocess again. Finally after four weeks, they did send me results, but I'm not sure I should trust them.
What makes me suspicious is not so much the breed info, because I know that can be surprising. But their description of behavior, coloring and physical traits are totally off and I've never seen that before with our other dogs. I bought an Embark test and am sending that off today.
Cody is 6 months old, around 40 pounds, kind of lean and lanky build.
