Right. The piebald gene is recessive. Therefore, a parti Yorkie has two copies of the piebald gene - passing at least one onto their offspring. The only way for the two to have parti Yorkies would be for the normal colored Yorkie to have a dominant gene for normal coloring and the recessive piebald gene.
