And you can try blaming it on the dog that the champion was bred to, but the fact is the gene has to be in both parents in order to produce the off colored pup. So if there are two champion lines involved, then both lines have the gene.
I'm not blaming anyone for anything. Facts are facts. Don't make this personal just because you don't like the facts.
There is no one to blame for anything. The first parti colored yorkie registered by the AKC, "Niko's Mickey Spillane" had a champion sire. |
That was my point, a champion sire bred to? And went back to? on the dams side and who was this champion sire.
I wish people would get to know the show world before they get into speaking what they consider to be 'facts'. You have to know the show world to know how things occur. I have seen many byb's in show clothes by the way and they are not show breeders I would deal with ever.
There are show breeders and then there are show breeders. Unfortunately some not so reputable show breeders got their hands on some mighty fine lines and dragged those through the mud.
Having said all that, of course, anyone can produce a wrong colour, blaiming it on champions and saying that's where it came from is why most show breeders who are reputable will not let their dogs go or be studded to non show breeders or show breeders they are not sure of, because they could very well be breeding to something that can be carrying any anomoly and it will be the show breeder that gets the blame.
I believe the AKC relented and registered parti colours because someone somewhere who had them sued AKC and they had more money than AKC was willing to spend to fight it out in court. Initially, AKC turned applications down flat for particolour YOrkies. It was not this dog you mentioned and I have no idea who the parti colour breeder was.
