We have and never had any white yorkies here the only thing here resembeling a yorkie is the maltese terrier.
Which the uk kennel club have stated were bred into the yorkshire terrier many moon's ago.I have read many thread's on many site's this prove's nothing.
So why would parti puppies show up here after all these year's.
Surely we would of had then long before germany if these dog's that are meant to of created them came form the uk.
The traditional yorkie does NOT carry the piebald gene they do how ever get this from a shih tzu or a maltese terrier as they have this gene.
At the time the 2 puppies being born with the parti color.
It is known that the breeder was also breeding the shih tue.

We've heard the same story in the US from disbelievers including members here on YT - from pet owners to long time show breeders. All stating that the Yorkshire Terrier breed does not have the parti gene, or that Show breeders have never produced parti in their breedings. It's been proven over and over again in early writings - books, magazines, newspapers - that white yorkies (and other off colors) have appeared in litters from two traditional parents. Even the well known Wildweir lines has had more than a few parti's show up in their litters.
I do agree with you that the parti color was bred into the yorkshire terrier blood lines. It's been noted that the Maltese was used to produce longer coats on the early foundation dogs, like the Scotch Terrier. The yorkshire terrier became a breed in the early 1870's, prior to that they were called broken haired scotch terriers and in those early times, dogs of unknown heritage that had the look that was needed to achieve the yorkshire terrier, were used to produce the beautiful blue and tan, long coated dogs we have today. Only problem was that because of their unknown heritage, we have no idea what recessive genes they carried.
Maybe this illustration will better explain things.
Terriers from the 1860 Book of Field Sports by Henry Downes Miles, is Illustrated by DJ Watkins-Pitchford, these dogs are pictured running freely together.
Pictured is The Skye Terrier, The Scotch Terrier, The English Smooth Terrier, The Crossed Scotch Terrier, The Dandie Dinmont and The Bull Terrier.
Two of the 6 dogs pictured are parti colored ... One is the crossed scotch terrier. Swift's Old Crab was a blue and tan crossed scotch terrier, he was thought to be one of our early foundation dogs from the mid 1800's (1850 period). Eventhough he was the correct color, it doesn't mean that dogs like him, didn't carry hidden genes for parti and other off colors ... Who knows, that pretty black and white crossed scotch terrier in the picture, might have been Swift's Old Crabs littermate!
