I dont suppose, since you are the parti guru, you can tell me about any breeders in Britain that are purposely raising partis. There should be tons of parti breeders there since that is where the Yorkie originated. Are they exhibitor breeders of the byb type breeder.( I am not referring to Biewers in Germany)
Sometimes I get the feeling that you parti breeders are just a little miffed that YTCA will not allow different colors to be included in the standard. I think that your agenda is to eventually challenge the YTCA to change the standard so that you can also show your dogs. I am sure that the white german sheppard owners feel the same way. |
You raise an interesting point; there should be Parti's in Great Britain if it is indeed part of the make-up. I guess I've always accepted the word from some that it was a recessive gene, and haven't really questioned this part so much as it didn't really seem important. To me it was like saying floppy ears are recessive, so it's OK to breed for them. I believe good breeders should always breed to standard, no matter what their personal preferences are.
