Teddy and Tiffyy, Please be sure to copy and paste quotes from the correct poster, and not just copy the quoted material in another posters reply. Yorkiekist made the reply that you quoted (NOT ME)
, though it was from a thread that I was quoting and replying to. My reply is under Yorkiekist's quote.
Just wanted to make sure there was no confusion.

I believe someone posted the history of the Yorkie by the Wildweir ladies. Its interesting to read.  |

I'm not trying to change your mind but I am trying to educate those who are on the fence so they can see all sides of the story and decide for themselves.
There are several different spotting genes. Dogs can carry one type of spotting gene or a combination of spotting genes, the Maltese would be an example of extreme white spotting. Maltese do have pigment around the eyes, nose, paw pads and when wet, they have freckling on their body.
Some of our parti yorkies are being born now, that are all white (extreme white expression), it will be interesting to see if two solid white parti's will produce litters of all white parti pups? Guess time will tell.
