Do they really? (No seriously, I'm asking because I honestly don't know.) I have
heard from many many people about a higher rate of genetic issues showing up with the Beiwers, whether as a result of poor breeding or because they were selectively line bred so heavily during their origination, who knows. So I would assume the same could be possible with the Partis? Maybe that could be raising a red flag? IF that is the case and IF that is a viable possibility, then I could see where the YTCA would be concerned with opening the door for a whole new variation of dogs bringing these issues in. With Partis being as "new" as they are..."new" as in not very common, I realize they've been popping up for a long time...I find it hard to believe that there has been a large enough coordinated effort amongst reputable Parti breeders where the issues have been thorougly examined and compared in a manner that would allow for such a possibility to be addressed.
