I have a couple of questions regarding the partis. Since this discussion has largely been about getting partis into the ring, I was wondering just what partis are we talking about? From a little looking around, I'm finding partis, golden partis, chocolate partis, chocolate/golden partis and blonde partis. It really seems like every variation of off-color dog is being bred together. Would those advocating for a color variation in the breed standard want to allow for all these varieties, and those yet to come? Do we now need the term 'traditional parti'?
Also, I saw the pedigree posted with the Hylan's dog. I thought I had seen earlier that all parti's could be traced back to the Nikko's line. There's also a breeder on the CYTC website that claims to have a parti that's no relation to either of these lines. Very confusing... |
