It took me close to 4 years to produce my first parti litter. I just posted updated pics of them in the nursery.
Even though I am very happy with this litter..I still have miles to go to get the conformation and consistancy the parti yorkie badly needs to be taken seriously by those who could one day vote it into it's own variety class.
For me..I started with a cute little female I knew was a carrier. I bred her to a friends very nice carrier male twice...and had two nice litters from the pair. I ended up getting two carrier females nice enough to keep back from those litters. During this time...I started my search for the nicest parti male I could find. I am not rich (far from it)...so this was the hard part. I contacted many breeders and most were just too expensive with no guarantee's. I thank my lucky stars that I found my boy when I did. I had to have him shipped in from Colorado...but I knew he was special when I first saw him. He is a very nice male with good bite, OFA patella's, cerf clear, bile acid tested normal.
But that was the hardest part of my search. Finding a male I liked and could afford, that had a normal bite, knee's and both boys "out da house"!! LOL
The health testing comes later..and then you have to hold your breath during that.
For me...it was worth all the time and money I invested in my dogs. I am so very proud of them.
