Again? Ye okay, it was in response to Pine's links where it goes into about white Yorkies, thought it was interesting her links and then this thread going on at the same time..for some reason only the link posted though...and yes I know they ar not Partis...yes strange they change color...but then again that's kind of the nature of Yorkie coats until maturity...I wouldn't venture to debate the reasoning for them turning white,not on this thread at least, although hormones may be a very valid reasoning.
Anywho I had also attempted to ask Pine if she had a link to her comments about the AKC letter or where I can view it myself...? Where can the rest of us view what you are talking about below? Am I missing seeing a link somewhere...anyone?Yes, I see it is a link to YT forum response but I only see one post not a thread and well bits and pieces of quotes not a full correspondence...was this just a first hand correspondence then?
"Triplicate and Nikko's Rolls Royce Ashley do have a common link in their pedigrees. And according to the AKC letter written to Loryn in 2000, where it sates "After conduction research into the breed history
and receiving information and photographs of the dogs contained in your dogs pedigree, it was determined that this color can be produced in otherwise normal litters of Yorkshire Terriers," so I'm guessing that AKC, while researching the pedigrees and talking to breeders, found other dogs related to the Nikko's line, who had produced parti?"
