Thank you all of you for your explanation on the Parti Gene. I never knew anything about it. I was just looking for a Yorkie companion. I ran into two that were absolutely adorable. Then the breeder told me that the father had the Parti Gene. The only thing I could see that caught my eye was some white on the dog. I also noted that hair was a bit course. I know that my Yorkie who lived 13 years (with bad health issues), was totally black when I got her. She turned into the most beautiful dog. Of course I never even gave a thought to breeding her. She was only 3# all of her adult life. I cannot imagine I could get a dog so well behaved again. Missy never had any bad habits. I was so thankful that I took the time to train her. I will be doing the same with my new Yorkies. |
