My understanding is those colors are mutations. I don't know if markers have been found for these specifically but some color mutation markers have been identified.
This professor is an expert in color coat genetics. You may wish to contact her. I can tell you the specific marker for the piebald. I do not know the answer for chocolate or golden. University of Saskatchewan College of Agriculture and Bioresources - Find People
Biewers have participated in several color coat studies she's conducted.
Some "light" reading...lol. Genetic Research in the Schmutz Lab |
You are taking the time and I appreciate it!
The Panda was also a mutated gene therefore, with proper research, each
"assorted color" for the "yorkie" should be able to be identified and proven to be legitamate.
I guess my next question is...How do we know there's nothing but "yorkie" in the 'wood pile' LOL. Should all of these litters be DNA'd?
