F2 is an F1 breed to a Biewer. Some puppies will be Biewers (2 piebald genes) and some will look like regular yorkies (one piebald gene and one regular yorkie gene)
Most Biewer people do not use the terms F1, F2, etc. I have two girls that I call Splitters (their genes are split, 1 piebald gene, 1 regular yorkie gene). It does not matter if they are F1, F2, or F58, a splitter only 1 piebald gene and 1 regular yorkie gene.
Right now I have no intentions of breeding to a yorkie that is not a splitter. I won't say never though, as who knows what the future will bring. "Never" can make you into a lier!!! |
VERY informative! So would the same hold true with Parti's? I was told splitter is a term used in Biewer lines and carrier is used in Parti lines....So essentially they are the same thing just different words or terms?
both mean a yorkie that has the pie bald gene?
