Partis have happened over the years but the breeders spay and neuter them because they don't meet the standard. This kept the appearance of partis to a minimum. But now, there are breeders who are intentionally breeding them so they are becoming more common because of course when you breed a parti and another parti together, you get more partis. But just because they are becoming more common now, why should the standard start allowing them? Yes, they happen, but the standard says that when it happens it is a disqualification |
Breeding parti to parti is not the only way to get the tri color. That is why I asked you what you thought about spaying/neutering all of the litter that has a parti in it. You also said that the partis have been happening over the years but the breeders spay/neutered them because they did not meet the standard. Are you talking about show breeders? Because I have never heard of a show breeder admitting that they have ever had a parti in any of their litters.
