Are you talking about the DNA tests that attempt to match clusters of DNA to 'general' clusters of DNA in known breeds, thereby giving a 'breed guess' on dogs of unknown heritage? Those tests are unreliable.

However the tests described here aren't of that type. The point is to get DNA from the supposed parents and match (or unmatch) DNA from the litter or other relatives. These DNA tests are the same that are used in courts and are considered near infallible barring taking DNA from false parents to begin with.
