The Parti breeders have not been breeding Parti to Parti but have gone back into the Yorkie lines and they are not breeding father to daughter to get a Parti as you implied. The Biewer breeders in Germany still breed back to Yorkies (I am guessing because to many dogs died) but for some reason many people here in the states are only breeding Biewer to Biewer.
Even though the Parti's and the Biewers came from the same kennel in England they both took different paths in terms of inbreeding/linebreeding and the Biewer was much more inbreed (by Mr. Biewer) than the Parti's (you can see this in the pedigree's if you are interested). Breezeaway has all of this listed on her website along with the history of the Biewers and the Parti's. |
I was responding to this remark:

SO if I buy a parti male, the male and female will not produce parti puppies but their babies will?
