Its up to the breeder if they want to cull the pups or not. Most reputable breeders that have a faulty puppy will place it in a pet home only, not to be bred.
And I am sure that you have written public undeniable proof that the old time breeders had partis. Records are easy enough to skrew up now and I bet even easier way back in the dark ages.
And by the way, ALOT or Yorkie bloodlines go back eventually to Pomp n Circumstance so that must mean, according to your theory, that most Yorkies carry the parti gene. |
The only agenda that I have is to give a complete view of how off colors show up in our breed (and other breeds), scientific reasons, documented reasons, logical reasons. Unlike the information on the YTCA's site which, in my opinion, tells the reader what "they" want you to hear - it tells their agenda and the reasons why they don't want these colors in the breed. They lead one to believe that these colors are genetically defective and basically that there was never, ever, ever, any foundation dogs that ever carried any off color recessive genes. That type of thinking is old and outdated ... maybe that was the thinking back in the early 1900's when the Breed club was formed but in the year 2000 with the advances in science and genetic studies, we know that outdated way of thinking is just that - outdated.
We (Jeanie and I) have spoken to the breeders involved in getting the Nikkos parti line registered, we have purchased our dogs from these breeders and we have written correspondence from the breeders about the parti investigation. One letter gives a synopsis of what happened during the AKC investigation and what AKC specifically said to this breeder during the investigation.
We have a copy of the letter from AKC's special services department addressed to this breeder, that says after they conducted research into the breed history and receiving information of dogs contained in the parti dogs pedigrees, it was determined that this color can be produced in otherwise normal litters of Yorkshire terriers.
You say: "ALOT or Yorkie bloodlines go back eventually to Pomp n Circumstance so that must mean, according to your theory, that most Yorkies carry the parti gene".
No, only about half of his offspring would carry the gene, and since I'm told that most reputable breeders sell their pups on a spay neuter contract, many of those carriers' lines would have died out because they did not go on to reproduce.
