I also think that there was a "fly in the pudding" also. Probably a few flies. Its very easy to add the parti gene and then breed back the Yorkie look. That doesnt take very many generations nor an Einstein. Does anyone have any proof, pictures or documentation of parti Yorkies from the 30's to the 70's? It seems to me that these odd colored Yorkie started appearing about the same time as the onslaught of bybrs who most often times had multiple breeds. At that time it was EXTREMELY easy to falsify AKC registration papers as there were very infrequent kennel inspections and no mandatory DNA tests. And does anyone know exactly what Mr Biewer was breeding prior to him proudly presenting his parti colored "yorkies" only to be turned down by the breed club? Is anyone positive he only bred Yorkies? Is anyone positive that he didnt falsify records?
I will address the statement that any dog that comes from purebred parents are purebred: Not if the records were falsified. This could be generations ago or only 1 generation ago. This is why the AKC must register off colored offspring. Its only because the parents are AkC registered, but in fact, are actually mixes with falsified registration papers. This is why it cant be stressed enough that a person really needs to research the breed and get to know several breeders before making a purchase.
