Is your friend a breeder or just a pet owner who would keep the offspring?

-Although I understand the argument for purity, I think mixing happens and can be a good thing to some. The main issue is health. If the lines were healthy that's one thing but unknown backgrounds can be dangerous to the pup's quality of life.
Based on the Biewer history, this is not true. Two Yorkshire Terriors who both carried the recessive color gene were bred, and they had puppies with the black/blue, white and tan/gold colors. There were also black/blue and tan/gold puppies in the litters. Mr. Biewer's dogs who carried the recessive color gene came from the same kennel that the Parti yorkie came from.
