Historical documents that go way back to the beginning, talk of white yorkies.
The leading authorities on the Yorkie breed say they had parti colored yorkies in their line.
These are professionals, they wrote the book on yorkies. maybe you should read their book. |
DNA only proves parentage not color...As said before many times we don't know where the white is coming from...It is thought to be from another breed years ago which would not show up on a DNA test of today...So we really don't know...
The white that may have been there years ago was not desirable and breeders have worked hard to keep the blue/tan yorkie as it is...Not going to just trash years of work because one group of people now want it...Where do we draw the line...all gold, blue borns...blue/tan...gold/tan...I think not...I personally think the line was drawn in the right place...
