But to satisfy myself I did DNA and yes they are like the partis. Have been cropping up for years but it was the same with the goldens as the partis - hush, hush. I have been able to reproduce the goldens a few times and now own six adults. I have had them crop up in litters from the original pair that I bred and have definitely worked to keep them in my line. I love the colors. The gold and parti. If in doubt, do a DNA.
In this case it is impossible to know without DNA since she was allowed in the front yard unsupervised. Including a couple of pics. I know a lot of people call them golden if they turn golden as they get older. That is a totally different thing and those are not true "born blondes".
Wow, so I thought, it was no other dogs in this house and the lady was as shocked as I was.. and she had them DNA too and yep, full yorkies. but since Yorkies are NOT my forte, I never dissagree with a full knowledge breeder , now if this was a silky I would go all the way. love the pictures of the blonde..
hugs,
