I am attempting to get people to understand how and when this gene appears and that it is not something that has happened in the recent past.
No one is ruining anything. These dogs will make their own place in the record books just as the original yorkies did way back when. I'm sure there were breeders back then that fought against them becoming a breed of their own too. But the might little terriers survived. |
Jeanie,
You keep on talking about the parti's coming from championship lines. What lines are you referring to? Do you have pedigrees from some of the earlier parti's? Do they originate with the Nikko line?
It is my opinion that a Papillon most likely was used to give the piebald or spotted pattern. I have seen Maltese/Yorkie crosses and none were ever spotted.
