I have a question...maybe a naive one; if it's naive, I apologize....you guys should know by now that genetics is not my strong point.
Some posters have mentioned how there are no genetic defects tied to "color" except w/ Chocolates. I thought that there had been discussion (ahem, quite "lively" discussion) as to whether or not parti colored dogs in general (not just yorkie, but partis in other breeds as well)
could have genetic related issues that are related to the gene which causes the parti color. Was it blindness maybe...? Does anyone know what I'm trying to recall w/ this? It's fuzzy...so I can't remember the details.
Were those genetic relationships proven categorically false? Bc I can't recall if/when the issue really had a conclusion.
