Continued from previous post.
Theoretically, one cold have two AKC registered yorkies, they could buy a maltese or some other dog, and claim that their yorkies had a puppy, of traditional color, and register it as a yorkie.
They could then mate this "fake yorkie" with a traditional colored pups and get a tri colored pup which they alleged to have come from two yorkie parents. Because the maltese was registered as a yorkie.
If the DNA testing was done it would prove that this tri colored pup did indeed come from two registered yorkies.
That is where the showing and the reputation come in. If the ancestors have been shown and have championships to prove it, then it is obvious to the AKC that the ancestors rwere really truely yorkies and not just some imposterer
Does that all make sense.
I am sure there are a lot of registered yorkies out there that are not 100% yorkie. But that is not the case of the line of Partis that I am buying from.
Also if you get an AKC registered parti yorkie, it had to have been DNA'd before the AKC would register it. these are all done on a case by case basis.
And if your dogs did not come from reputable breeders, you might have trouble registering them. |
