I will say that the Parti/Biewer comparison makes me nutty, and I'm not sure why...lol. Maybe because I trust the AKC too much? I feel like if the MARS testing and AKC accepting Biewers as a new breed is pretty reliable. I want to dig deeper, but am not sure where to look. I do know, however, that for a Biewer to be accepted into the FSS program, they have to be DNA proven, which definitely points to a consistent difference between Biewers and Yorkies. Parti Yorkies, however beautiful, have been deemed a fault and NOT a separate breed.

Surely, with a registry as upstanding as AKC, there is a reason for this, no?
There are some that think the parti should have never been accepted as a yorkie with a color fault because yorkie doesnt carry the gene to make their color. I know from reading on here about the genes of the biewer and the parti that the genes are escentially the same thats why Im confident they are the same dog but originated in two different places.
