The Yorkshire terrier doesn't carry a broken color gene; it only comes in blue & tan. Some other male dog got under the fence or in the door or something, mated with the female and produced a puppy. It is technically possible for every puppy in a litter to have a different father. That would easily explain the genetics of an off-colored pup in a litter of a breed that only comes in blue & tan."
I told her she shouldn't speak out on things that she is ignorant about. I just hate when people try to make you feel inferior and dumb, when they are actually the ignorant ones. Sorry I just had to really get that off my chest. |
Send her some links to Parti Yorkie web sites. I don't tolerate smart alecs very well and would probably tell her off. Many years ago, I had a black and white collie with a coat like a laborador retriever and got all kinds of comments. He was a tri-color smooth coat AKC registered collie and became a champion, but no one knew what he was when they met him (outside of a dog show). I've had my Bichons called Poodles for years, too. I'm nice and explain what kind of dog it is, but if someone gets snotty or tries to tell me my dog isn't the breed I say it is ... look out!
