They bred FOR the parti color gene, and you know what..
If you know anything about inbreeding and line breeding and closed pools, you'll find that it is VERY easy to get a particular genetic marker within a line.
Consider that every Biewer descends from Schneefloocken.
As soon as the stud book closes, that means that there is going to be some intense line breeding going on. And in an intensely line bred line, there will be markers that show, but that doesn't mean they're not Yorkies... Unless you're saying that the Biewars lied when they said no other breed went into the creation of the Biewar, other than Yorkies.
Maybe you know different than the information I have gained. I'm opened minded, and would be glad to read anything you may wish that supports your point of view. |
You said you read stuff from the Biewer's themselves. Would you mind sharing that info please? I would also like to see the documents that the Biewer's were breeding for the parti gene. I hear a lot of people say that, but when I talk to people that have talked to the Biewer's personally, the Biewer's never said any such thing.
Another thing of interest is the people that scream the loudest about how the Biewer's did it, and breed Yorkies to Biewers, when the Biewer's were very adamant that no one should be breeding Yorkies to Biewers. How does that work?
Read the information on the BTCA website and you will learn pretty much everything you need to know about the breed. Last I heard, they were the only ones that have ever talked to Mrs. Biewer, seen original documents, and know what the Biewer's intended for the breed.
