The reason I ask about all steel blue/black yorkies is there are lots of times that I've read diseases can be corolated when breeders breed in search of a single trait. (color, size, etc.) The only partis I've ever seen are pictures on YT. I've never seen one in person. As far as I can tell, the parti gene seems harmless since the babies on YT all seem relatively healthy. It's not a fact however and I'm not stating that partis are healthier than traditionals, as I have done 0 research into the health of partis vs traditional yorkies. But that does sound like an interesting summer project.  Size I have seen there is more care and concerns when breeding for size, but I've yet to hear about partis. That is until this post. If blue borns are the "blue" version of parti yorkies, I would suspect that maybe there is a correlation between color and illness. Can anyone elaborate on this? |
Parti is just the description of a color of a yorkie with white on it, When you say Parti colored yorkie it means that they have white. Some have shortened to phrase from parti-colored to Parti. Just like a Parti colored cocker spaniel, it means they are spotted.
Parti colored yorkies have the same health issues as traditional colored yorkies. That is why you should never buy a puppy either parti colored or traditional that has never had any health tests done or the parents DNA'd and health tested.
There are too many people out there that DO breed anything and pass them off as something they are not.. Be very careful when buying any pet.
