Seriously what is the difference? |
Now you know of four more... Spoiled Biewer Yorkies, Spoiled Parti Yorkies, Spoiled Rotten Biewer Yorkies, and Spoiled Rotten Parti Yorkies...
Seriously though to answer your question, both the Parti and Biewer carry a recessive piebald gene. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was developed in Germany, and can be traced back to German lines. A standard has been set for the Biewer. The Parti comes from America and is still in the development stage. There are Parti's that are registered with the AKC presently, but I think AKC or YTCA have voted against it now. Not sure of all the details... but there is quite a controversy surrounding these "off-colored" yorkies.
If you want to learn more, you can search on this site for Biewer or Parti and can find a whole bunch of info... Hopefully some of the Parti owners will come on and tell you more about their dogs.
Anymore questions... be sure to ask away -- we're just like everyone else... we love to talk about our babies!!!
