You are the one from whom I learned that breeders want to keep this a huge secret, before that I didn't think it was any worse than any other fault. Speaking of secrets, I do hope the Parti breeders will share their knowledge if a trait such as deafness is found in their offspring, and they will inform others about this too. Deafness and the recessive trait has been linked in some dogs, but you are correct there are those breeders who would keep this quite because they didn't want to destroy their line.

What dog are you referring to?? Your statement of, "Deafness and the recessive trait has been linked in some dogs", is quite broad and seems that you are trying to imply that there is a link with the tri-colored Yorkie and deafness.
