I have seen with my own eyes how the parti gene was introduced. I knew a breeder that had an oops litter. She admitted it. Said they would still make nice pets. She still registered them with AkC. She had multiple breeds, by the way. They were parti colored Yorkie mixes. All registered as pure AkC puppies. Made me wonder if the sire or dam were also mixes. She had been breeding this way for 30 years. There was no such thing as Dna and falsifying registration papers was easy. She even had one champion girl. Seemed like she bred that bitch for 12 years by her adds in the paper. She doesnt sound very ethical, does she.
This is only one breeder in one state. Breeders like her were a dime a dozen back in the 70;s and 80;s..
Now, I have looked at your parti pedigrees. One top line will have Ch Nikko about 3 generations back. All the rest are from pet breeders. How do you know what these pet breeders were breeding? I am sure you dont know everyone that bred these generations of dogs. How do you know that they were not just like the lady I knew?
Can you see now why the YTCA is concerned? |
My partis came from the first registered parti Nikko's Mickey Spillane, sired by Ch Rolls Royce Ashey, and bred by the same people who owned and bred the Nikko line.
They are the same people who were instrumental in getting the AKC to Accept the parti color yorkies.
True there are probably many "parti colored yorkies" out there that are knock offs because the breeder did not want to pay the price for the real thing. but that happens. you have to know who you are buying from.
