Now correct me if I'm wrong Phoebe_M.....when you say character are you talking about personality wise....like "Are Parti's nicer than standard yorkies?"
& I'm not mind reader or anything, but it seems the OP is asking questions about Biewers, goldens & Chocolates because she has an interest in them. So we are not here to scare her away from them....or make her feel that they're Mutations. Let her research & be the judge of that on her own. She asked a simple question....so why give an excessive answer? |
It won't get ugly on my end
I'm not trying to scare anyone one away, rather to educate and show the other side of the story by providing written documentation, pictures, science and just plain logic and common sense to back up the fact that these off colored dogs are purebred yorkshire terriers (talking about AKC partis, I won't comment on the Biewer Terrier fraud/mess). It's coming from the YT's foundation stock, terriers like the dogs pictured earlier, who had no pedigrees and who's heritage was unknown.
It's not easy to completely eradicate color genes from a gene pool. I had my own experience when I raised American Morgan Horses and produced a colt white pinto markings 3 months after the repeal of a rule that would have denied him registry due to having white above the knee. This "High White" rule was in effect for 36 years, it was made to restrict and deny any pinto markings from the breed. There was been mandatory bloodtyping for years and DNAing of all offspring to verify parentage prior to registering any offspring. I was told we'd never see a pinto morgan because the pinto genes had died in the Morgan breed ... but they were wrong! Almost 50 years and 15+ generations later, we have some very loud splash and sabino colored morgan horse.
You can't wish color genes away and to say the YT breed
never carried for any color other than blue and tan .... well, I hope I've showed you how they can and have carried other colors besides blue & tan.
