But alot of other people do, and with that the Parti is here to stay no matter what you or anyone on here says. They are AKC registered and acknowledged by AKC.
No, they cant show yet, but if anyone thinks that is going to hinder us, think again. Do we think our parti's have to be in a beauty pageant to say they are Beautiful and worthy of breeding? Nope we don't.
The true honest parti breeders know they have great dogs and don't need a judge to tell them that their dogs are worthy of breeding. If you have to take your dog into a ring and let a stranger tell you if you have nice dog or not, worthy of breeding and you cant tell by looking at it, then you got problems.
I never said Wildweir contributed to the partis, just said they had one pop up in their lines. Which to me proves that partis were born to traditional yorkies long before anyone cared to cause a scene over it because they were mostly put down when that was the thing to do before animal rights became such an issue. |
1. I see what you mean about DNA'd good for you having proven parentage is the first of many steps in legitimacy. Have you considered or ever heard about the DNA banking for research purposes where there is banking to identify and track markers?
2. I think that's going to be the problem in convincing people of anything they refuse to listen to-unless you get them popping up (recessive genes are by nature extremely rare in dominance of traits) in well know "pure" lines and being documented people are not going to believe it regardless. Personally because of my (limited) understanding of genetics across species I believe in the authenticity of Partis-they are however a "fault" in coloration for what the desired result was and the manipulation of breeding out and then the manipulation of breeding back in has really cause serious question as to the abundance of them now...let alone the manipulation of color mutations and breeding for those qualities, along with then crossing for "identical" results I think that's why many people further doubt-its unfortunate.
3. Furthermore I had always heard (I actually have a Parti with epilepsy and arthritis, as well being oversized-he came from a breeder whom chose to only breed Parti to Parti and maybe crossed in some Parti carriers really trying to bring out the Parti gene to the point of unhealthy repressiveness) that it is with the excess of pronounced recessive genes you find genetic abnormalities-when you were talking about Biewers being bred back to Partis' it seems that would be genetically irresponsible considering the basics of genetics...and maybe they should be bred back to standard Yorkies of healthy proven lines. Correct me if I'm wrong here I'm a novice on the subject.
4. I had never heard of Biewers being openly considered Yorkie in Germany I thought they were considered a sub-category or alternative breed and that Yorkies were only being crossed back into the lines and bred out like 4 generations is it before it can be called a Biewer again? Maybe I'm not saying that right I can't find where I read it and whom told me about it-hoping maybe you were aware of that considering your "field" and you could lend explanation.
5. Thank you for responding to my questions, I appreciative you taking the time to do so! Sorry I just came back with more!
