I have a carrier that has no white at all. His Daddy was a parti and his momma a carrier, so I know he is a carrier. they don't have to have any white. that is where the big surprises come in. they mate two very traditional looking yorkies and get a tri color. that happens when both of the parents carry the piebald gene.
He certainly looks like a carrier to me. Chachi's momma had the white bib just like this little guy does.
