And in many cases, with the Biewers that is not an issue. But to back up, I have been breeding for over 30 years. And there are many, many breeders who have equal or more experience and ALL |
(sorry about that)
all will tell you that they have NEVER had a parti show up in their breeding. If this was a common occurance certainly one of us, throughout the years would have seen it. Hence the belief that these parti's or Biewer's started as a cross. But after so many generations of breeding back into the Yorkie breed these dogs would obviously DNA test true for Yorkies. That's not the case for those that are crossbreeding to cash in on this new craze. And like it or not, there are mutts out there being passed off as Biewers or as you call them Parti's.
