I think it was pretty obvious to most by her post that 1) she is planning on breeding in the future and 2) she is wanting to show. And as she has already stated in several other post, she is interested and supportive of standard colored dogs as defined by the YTCA. Really, what is the point of this misunderstanding?
In blue dogs with tan points (
Yorkies and Dobermans)
the tan areas retain a normal appearance. In piebald (white spotted) individuals, the white areas are unaffected by the hair loss. [/QUOTE]
Ok, I thought that this was the portion you were referring to.
-Yes, the tan area is not affected--the disorder, by definition does not affect tan.
-The dogs that were tested were NOT Parti Yorkies. They were more than likely other breeds with a standard that calls for a tri-colored coat. Meaning that there were generations and generation of dogs that probably NEVER possess the genetics for a blue/tan coat. However, Parti Yorkies do. So testing a breed that is piebald by standard/history is not going to draw results that can neccessarily be applied to Parti Yorkies.
-Parti Yorkies are not going to be affected by this because again, it affects blue coat and they don't have a blue coat.
-There is no evidence in THIS article that Parti Yorkies cannot pass on the disorder to offspring IF they are still carrying the genes for the standard colored coat.
