| Parti-Gene Carrier?? These puppies are allegedly parti-gene carriers. What exactly does that mean? I am thinking of getting a girl playmate for Trigger, and like the puppies but they are pretty pricey since they are this parti-carrier thing. I don't get it. Someone please enlighten me. http://view.admission.net/admission/...3&partnerlogo= |

| I think it means they can pass on the gene for parti-colored Yorkies...which is a fault and, therefore, not worth MORE. Not saying partis aren't cute. Someone correct me if I mis-spoke.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | it says that they are $1200 which i think is pretty good for a yorkie pup considers how much some others charge. what it means by parti-gene carrier is that these pups have a parti father (what ad says) and a standard color mother. THese pups will carry the gene for parti colors so if they were to be bred with a parti or another carrier they can produce some parti pups themselves. SInce you're looking for another yorkie to be a playmate it won't matter if they are carriers or not because you are probably going to get the dog fixed and not bred it. if this price is more in your area then a standard color yorkie i'd pass on these pups. i have a splitter yorkie (half biewer, half yorkie) and she is no different then a regular yorkie. she does have a little white on her chin, chest, and two toes on her hind left leg.

| pup Are you thinking of breeding? If not carrying a parti gene is meaningless...why pay for a gene that will never be used..unless you are breeding her? |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | They might carry the parti-gene. If one parent carries the gene, only 1 out of 4 will carry the gene, I think. The puppies are cute. Did you decide to buy one? |

| Yes, they are in Houston, TX. I have no interest in ever breeding so I am going to get a little less expensive girl. The parti gene females they have are $1600. I found some wonderful girls closer to 1000, or a little under. I posted about 1, but found several others on puppyfind. Yea!! lotsa prospects. |

| It means if you breed them to another dog with the pie bald gene you would get some tri color puppies. This is to the best of my knowledge. Check out Scrapindee's webpage for a complete description, or pm her. Biewers and parti's are yorkies with a tri color coat.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | No. It's fairly common for yorkie puppies to have white on their chest...and usually it changes to gold.
