Breeding dogs generally have many more children that people, so statistically, you should tend to the norm. It's one thing to have all three of your children be boys, but to have all dozen of your children be male would be very uncommon. It would seem to me that it would be pretty easy to produce partis if you want them. Do you know the post I'm referring to where someone said she was trying to produce partis but hadn't seen one yet? |
Yes it is pretty easy to produce Partis if you want them, all you have to do is breed two Partis together. Some breeders are breeding "carriers" and the odds become 1 in four it will be a Parti. Some people probably are breeding what they think to be carriers, but are just regular yorkies. Remember the odds of producing a regular yorkie when you mate carriers together are also one in four. I'm not sure how they would know he's a carrier, unless the dog has produced a Parti before.
