These breeders are very careful in placing their puppies and with spay/neuter contracts so they dont get into byb hands or people who will just breed indiscriminately. I enquired about a Nikko dog over 20 years ago and was told by them that once you buy a dog from them, it is yours. There was no contract or stipulations on the puppy. So, who knows what breeders got their hands on them. They may have a contract now, I really dont know. |
A few months ago you knew of NO breeder/exhibitor who has come up with an off color - Correct? Good-lordy-be, look at all those off colored black and gold dogs, you know of no breeder/exhibitor who has an off colored black coated yorkie? :-)
In the case of my parti, he's all Nikkos, at least 5 generations, tracing back champion Nikkos Rolls Royce Ashley and no one but Nikkos had their hands on his breeding. Many of the parti yorkies, trace back to Nikkos Rolls Royce Ashley.
As for other show lines producing color, there are some I've heard produce color or I routinely see certain prefix's showing up in pedigrees that produce color but I try to discuss facts and not guesses or hearsay as to where the color is coming from. The Nikkos line is the best known, traced and documented line of parti producers.
