Oh yes, I know, the partis are here to stay so I better get used to it. |
There has been no indication what so ever that deafness is any more of a problem in the parti colored yorkie, than it is in the traditional colored. If ever it becomes a problem, I will address the issue.
As far as testing my puppies, I have yet to have an parti puppies to test, and would see no reason to get them tested unless there was some indication of deafness.
