And for someone that says, "I have no vested interested in this", you sure do post in any and every parti thread that you can find. |
I'm not trying to "prove" anything. There was a member who asked the question in the past year because her dog was deaf. I actually
am trying to learn something. I try to share with others, what I have learned. I don't believe there has been shown any correlation between the Yorkshire terrier parti and deafness, but the
purposeful breeding of this parti trait is rather new, and I just hope breeders will be honest about it, since the piebald gene has been linked to deafness in other breeds. I really love the Yorkshire terrier breed, and it really bothers me what breeders have done to other breeds. I post on nearly all the threads that deal with good breeding practices, for this is something that holds a place, close to my heart.
