I was addressing the case of Ernest Hemingway's dog, and not white pups in general. There may very well be several books/sources that reference Hemingway having a "white Yorkie," and while these books/sources may not attribute this information to another source, the authors probably do not have first hand knowledge of the dog. Misinformation has a way of getting repeated often. Heminway may have had such a dog, but I would want better proof.
I can show you multiple reputable sources from 1914, including the New York Times, that claimed Germans were murdering Belgian babies. Doesn't make it true. Dead Belgian babies were a myth. |
Ernest
Hemingway's grandfather had a
white yorkie named Tassel-it was his first hand account that was referred to...we all know about Goldens...many people on YT have Yorkies that have turned white spontaneously...I'm not even going to touch on the other "myth"...a very weird statement to make.

Where do you get that-I'm still not seeing it from what I'm researching...am I looking in the wrong places?
