A full parti has to have 2 spotting genes (1 spotting gene from mom and 1 from dad). Parti's are homozygous for passing that gene on to all of it's offspring and parti carriers are not - carriers will pass the gene on to approximately 50% of it's offspring.
Dad is most likely a traditional but mom sounds like a parti carrier. In order for a parti colored pup to be in the litter both parents would have to be parti carriers and it looks like your pup got one parti gene from parti carrier mom.
Hope that helps, |
