It was the first breeding of the pair and she had gotten them from another kennel. The tri-color dog did not have Yorkie hair so it would make me wonder again if another breed had emerged from some mismating way back in the line years and years before either of these breeders got them. I mean there are two pretty significant traits NOT found in the yorkie line -- I would think first of a mistaken mating instead of thinking it evidence of some long lost maltese connection. Finding evidence of one in the line of a breeder as prolific as this.....well....still not telling me it is happening naturally from yorkie alone or that maltese ever had anything OFFICIALLY to do with our breed.
I do appreciate the information, but it is still not convincing me that maltese was in there from the beginning. I think there is probably a LOT of maltese in our breed now as sad as I feel that is. But it is from recent "parti" breeders making their own. I think those of you that come here to plead your case and try to undo anything said against the white-coats genuinely have bred your partis with other parti's or at least carriers. But that is not the case with many. I just see a HUGE problem coming in the next century when we may not be able to count on a yorkie line to throw what has long been one of the most beautiful breeds around. |
It DOES NOT say she got them from another kennel.
