Just would like to add a break down on odds of getting parti colored puppies. Both parents must at LEAST be carriers to get a parti pup. If you breed a parti to a carrier 1/2 the pups will be partis and the other 1/2 will be carrires. If you breed a parti to a standard yorkie ALL the puppies will be carriers but none will be actual partis. If you breed a carrier to a standard yorkie 1/2 the pups will be carriers and the other 1/2 will be non carriers (standard), although theres no way of knowing who is a carrier other than further breeding to find out (but carrier pups do tend to have a lot more white on them at birth). And of course if you breed a parti to a parti all the pups will be partis. I hope I explained this to where its not more confusing. |
