There are no records other than the biewer and parti breeders records to go on because prior to AKC allowing parti colored yorkies to be registered, the off colored pups were destroyed or given away. There was no documentation in AKC pedigrees tracing parti's because they were not eligible for registration, so the parti breeders records are the only records we have to go on.
I'm sure that not all blue and tan breeders records are all lies, but if you're thinking that the parti gene didn't come from the foundation dogs 100 years ago, than some blue and tan breeders records are lying right? And if my parti lines are a lie, than many traditional colored lines may be a lie as well! (JMO) |
it appears the same people from opposing clubs are continuing the same old arguments.
i doubt anyone is lying about the lines
biewers started with yorkies
with 2 piebald genes? by accident
then mr. biewer tried to replicate them
successfully for generations
his records are the beginning of the biewer
hopefully the biewer breeders are keeping his breed going
but, since it will take decades to get akc recognition, maybe the clubs
can agree by then
what are the visible differences between the biewer and the partis?
is it the color standards? is it also the size? or structures..
or just the arrangement of colors?
there is no standard for the partis.
but the biewer standards are specific..
