A gene color does not harm the health of a dog...inbreeding harms these dogs. Since I have been involved with the Biewers (which is the same dog as the Parti based on pedigree's) I have spent a great deal of time reading books on genetics and color. I believe it is your mission and a few other breeders on YT to continuously try to imply there are health issues with these dogs when their issues are no different than any other Yorkie.

Why do you think the Yorkie is 36 times more likely to have LS? It was because the breeders didn't care and continuously inbreed these dogs and in many cases still do. That is a much bigger health concern than a color in a dog. Why do you think many members in YTCA tried their hardest to discredit Terri Shumsky..they made her life a living hell when she tried to bring the truth out of what was going on with the dogs and LS in the show world. She is my hero because she was willing to speak the truth about the dogs and she was willing to hurt her standing in YTCA to save her precious dogs.
