| Parti question My males throw babies with white on their chests, sometimes huge blazes of white. Sometimes the white goes away, sometimes the white blends in and sometimes you can see it no matter what. Sometimes we get white on the toes, sometimes the white goes away, sometimes it doesn't but the actual skin and toenails are not white. Does this mean my male carries the Parti gene? Thanks, Sylvia |

| I have heard that yorkies with white patches are carriers of the gene, but I am not 100% sure of this.

| it absolutely does not mean they are parti carriers altho they could be. Almost every pup I have ever had has had some white patches on chest or toes. I know mine aren't parti carriers. |

It's not at all uncommon for pups to have white on their chests or toes when the are born, but it does NOT mean that they are parti carriers. Thorough knowledge of the lines you are breeding would be the best way to determine if the dogs are carriers. (All of which should be done/known BEFORE breeding anyway.) | |

| It could be a carrier but probably not. There are parti carriers that as adults have absolutely no white on them at all. That is why there are champion dogs out there that have thrown parti puppies when bred back to their daughters. No one knew. |

| I have bred him back to his daughter, and granddaughter and not gotten more white than what I was getting before. I guess that means he is not a parti carrier. Sylvia |

| WHY did you breed him back to his daughter? That is inbreeding and should not be done!My goodness no wonder you are getting strange puppies. |

Again...thorough knowledge of the process and genetics is really a crucial part of breeding responsibly. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 08-13-2009 at 03:09 PM. | |

| So you just bred him to his daughter to see if the white was larger? Inbreeding leads to a lot of defects in dogs it makes no sense to do it just to satisfy your curiosity.

| I am not a breeder, so noe one in my family knows much about breeding. I just mentioned this situation to my 14 yo daughter, and she said, "That's inbreeding!" Point is - even a kid knows this is wrong. I have been one to complain about rudeness, but I don't know how else to word this. I realize one can be curious about things, but that doesn't mean one should follow through, at the risk of little lives. |
