And you are right. there is no difference genetically. Only when it comes to the AKC. |
The Nikkos line of Partis and the Biewers do have a common ancestor from Streamglen Kennels. But the partis
do not trace back to the Biewer Family.
Mr biewer bought 2 dogs from Streamglen, Streamglen Richard and Streamglen Flora. It took him 4 generations of breeding before his tri color showed up.
Same with the Nikkos Partis, both traced back to Streamglen Shaun.
From my understanding Mr biewer did not make them a separate breed , he registered them as a variation of the yorkshire terrier. The separate breed stuff came about after they reached the states.
