Biewers have strict standards of where the white, black, and gold should be. I do not at this time believe the parti's have a standard.

The German Biewers and the American partis may have different spotting genes or combination of genes or gene modifiers working to produce their parti coloring. Biewers may have an irish spotting gene and piebald gene, where the whiter colored parti's may have two piebald genes or a piebald and extreme white gene?
While the Biewers have strict color standards and are normally able to produce pups with dark saddles and full masks, our parti's seem to have more white and a less predictable pigment placement. So until the parti breeders learn how to manipulate the markings on the parti's I don't think we can have color standards that are as strict as the Biewers. |
