Nope never been a solid colour yorkie purebred, they don't carry the gene. even the chocolate and blue born have a slightly different saddle colour.
Unfortunately DNA testing more than 15 years ago is not what it is today. You could not prove what might have happened a generation or two back in the pedigree.
For example, I have seen more than one Yorkie/maltese mix that you would swear was a purebred Yorkie. Fine if you aren't breeding it but guess what happens in the whelping box when you do.
I know the people that are trying to promote wrong colours and swear they are from purebreds traditional. They may be from what looks like traditional but unless you truely know the dogs from way further back you won't know for sure what happened.
You see, when a breeder whether AKC or CKC in Canada registers a litter they provide the registrations numbers of the alleged sire and dam. NEither registries check anything unless a puppy buyer questions it. Then DNAs can be done to insure that is the real sire or dam.
If a grandparent or further back was indeed not quite shall we say the get of the alleged parents, you are going to get not actual purebred.
It is very important to know what breeder you are dealing with when you are buying something to breed. |
