I would like to see proof though of early breeders having stated they not only had these almost all white dogs born in their litters, but also registered them with the AKC. Perhaps what they were referring to was a Tri, being Blue, Steel Grey & Tan?

I just went to your web site and read the excellent article that you have online regarding parti color yorkies, biewers and the early yorkshire breeders. Thank-you so much for the excellent information!
