Is this the part where I send in pictures to prove 2 registered AKC dogs had tri colored babies? Is this the reason you have DNA done on studs? |
If I were in that position, I would have the dam DNAd, as well as the two parti puppies, the Sire is already DNAd. This way, there is no shadow of doubt, that the pups are the product of the 2 traditional colored sire and dam and no one can claim that "another dog" got your yorkie pregnant. Both the sire and dam had to be carriers of the gene in order to produce parti puppies.
You send in the 2 photos of the parti colored pups when getting them registered (maybe so AKC can see that they have enough white to be registered as parti's? - I'm not sure if that's why they want photos but it's just my guess). The two traditional colored pups, just register as you normally would.
I don't think studs need to be DNAd until they've had a certain number of litters, or for semen transport or are imported breeding stock ...
