Could you please elaborate on what health problems are known to be a direct result of a yorkie puppy being born chocolate or parti colored?
As a past owner/breeder of the Chocolate and tan and parti variety of American Cocker Spaniels...I find this statement very interesting. As neither of these recessive genes in the Cocker Spaniel caused any color related health problems that I can recall.
Do these recessive genes affect the yorkie differently because of the dilution gene that turns the yorkie from black to blue?
