 Please read this entire post carefully before toasting me.
Careful breeding can cause a specific line within a breed to produce certain traits. I don't understand dog breeding, but genetics is genetics. When I breed two quarter horses, I get a quarter horse. Occasionally a recessive gene will produce a trait that is not acceptable to the American Quarter Horse Association, which prevents me from registering that indivudal as a QH, but there are other organizations that would welcome and cherish the results. But, irregardless of what registery his "papers are in" the horse in view of genetics this is still a Quarter Horse.
So, I guess my question, very respectlully and humbly is: What genetic pool did Mr. Biewer use when developing this GEORGEOUS little black and white dog? If the entire gene pool consisted of Yorkies with non AKC standard colors and markings, then the end result would have to be a Yorkie whatever the coloration.
Please, I am not trying to start, or continue a debate, hurt feelings, or start a flame war, and I certainly don't want to get toasted. The Biewers are beautiful little dogs, to die for beautiful and I would just love to understand once and for all, using the genetic makeup sole determinating factor, are Biewers Yorkies with a lovely color pattern or are they a separate breed with a truly different, non Yorkie or Yorkie + something else genetic makeup?
ps. guys, I have spent about 45 minutes trying to word this post so it isn't harsh, argumentative, ugly, hurtful, mean, rude, or truly ignorant. If I failed in my mission, I am truly sorry. |
