Anyway, how can any Yorkie not be adorable? Tucker's Mom |
The parti came about the same way the Biewer did, by breeding two traditional colored yorkies who both happened to carry the parti gene.
Parti colored yorkies are not new, they have been around for forever. They were a "dirty little secret" for show breeders. No one wanted it to be known that their champion yorkie produced a "misfit", so they either destroyed them or gave them away as pets.
Then a kennel in CA a decided to breed the partis and they worked with the AKC, getting the litters DNA'd to prove the parentage, until the AKC was satisfied that they were 100% yorkie.
