I posted pics of the stereotypical Biewer first and the most commonly found example of a Parti-thus you can see the difference-was I the only one missing that whole part-WOW?
I thought the Biewer was a Parti the first time I saw one-then I thought they were different types of Yorkies now they're the same-my head is spinning here!
Good thing I'm reading this thread and learning! So breeding Parti to Biewer is a non-issue (what's this Biewer to Biewer only breeding claim ppl make then?) then because they are the same and both share a recessive gene which has been brought out purposefully-considered a "fault" gene or not...it was first attempted to be bred out and now attempted to be bred back in?
When the breeder whom bred one of my dogs explained to me she ended her Parti line and began breeding Biewers and that Elvis was purely the product of four generations of Parti to Parti directly showing his lineage to the (Nikko) line she was fudging it as Partis and Biewers are the same just somewhat divided now? Out of curiosity what is the division now?
And why is there a Poodle (schnauzer) looking (mix) dog in the pic of the Biewer's dogs? Yorkie guard dog? |
Now you are in to OPINION. There are several clubs for both the Biewer and Parti-color yorkie. Most do not agree that they are the same dog. AKC accepts Parti to register (not to show and not recommended to breed) but they do not register Biewers. If you breed Biewer to Parti -- those puppies cannot be registered with AKC -- one of the NON-KC registries have to be used if the AKC Parti is dual-registered. It is not so clear cut as to say they are the same dog. If they are the same then there is some drastic differences in the lines.
