1. Ugh no. She's a Parti-if she were a carrier she'd be standard colors, look at her broken coat-she's not the dramatic representation but ask any Standard Yorkie breeder to identify her-they'd flip on anyone calling her a standard- or just a Parti carrier, a Parti carrier is scary to Standard Yorkie Breeders...which just means that a predominance of the recessive gene was brought out in that specific dog...I think they are all Yorkies the color standard just needs to be opened more, (excluding mutation-?)...just my opinion there.
2. Here's why Parti carriers scare Standard breeders (even though technically any Standard is a Parti carrier its just the term Parti Carrier is used for dog with a heavier part linage or they produce more Partis in their litters, expected litters) If she was just a carrier-she'd appear standard in coloration and then when bred to another standard, you'd see Parti's of all representations show up in the resulting pups, in a frequency indeterminable. Another misconception of Partis (that doesn't look Parti enough..but it's definitely not standard must be a carrier...uhg no.) is that they must appear dramatic as Biewers...but I'm now hearing Biewers and Partis are the same...just of different projected breeding results in the name of them having been change!
3. So glad for this thread, cleaning up simple misconceptions, learning tons, researching tons, and well this may not change any minds, present anything concrete (LOL) but it has definitely aided in many of the little things and WOW so nice everyone thus far has kept the attitude with the conversation minimal! Thanks Deb for the thread! I'm still trying to hear back from a breeder who has some old records posted on their site as to the actual text they came from so I can post a link here for reference! |
Not completely correct. In order to be a parti-carrier, the dog would have to carry the recessive gene. Not all standards carry this gene, but any dog from a line that has thrown a parti has the potential to be a carrier. That's one of the reasons more accurate and honest AKC records would be helpful to those who wish to breed only standards.
Refusing to acknowledge they exist and refusing to register them does a disservice to all breeders.
