Mama Yorkie, let me see if I can answer this question for you. Many yorkies are born with a patch of white on their chests and out grow that white in their adult coats. After speaking with a wonderful friend quite a bit about this, she has bred yorkies for 40+ years. When this happens the white patch indicates a silky coat. From what my research has taught me that a piebald gene carrier will have is speckling on their bodies or in their mouths, pads of the feet, white toe nails along with the white in their coats that they don't out grow.... With this I do believe this is how they developed the parti-yorkies as well, but Rini (whispersmom2) could explain those beautiful dogs better than I... The only difference I believe in this is that the parties haven't had a standard set for them as the Biewers have and that they are from different lines.
If I can help you further let me know. There are several of us here that have the pie bald carriers, Biewers, and I also have a 3/4 Biewer and 1/4 Yorkie- she is registered as a Yorkie, but when she is breed with a Biewer Male, I will get a mixed litter and or all Biewers. This will open another whole topic....  |
