Recessive genes can hide for many, many, many generations because you have to find that right cross where both sire and dam carry the gene in order for the color to appear.
I've done studying on some of the new parti bloodlines and I just can't find any common links at this point because there many are generations of traditional colored carriers. It's not just the pups' mom and dad who are carriers but one of each of their grand parents, one of each of their great grand parents .... and on and on.
