So if i breed a parti carrier to my parti i think i read that i will have some full parti and some parti carriers is that correct. If so i might want to invest and work on getting another parti yorkie. I want to thank ya'll for helping me figure this one out lol.

genetics can be pretty crazy and complicated LOL If you have a full parti and breed to a non-carrier standard, you will get all parti carriers (so they will look like standard yorkies but carry the parti gene). If you breed a full parti to a parti carrier, you will get some full partis and some parti carriers.
