They can DNA all day long and all that it will prove is that the puppy is out of a particular sire and dam. It cannot tell if there is any Maltese, Papillion or anything else mixed in. Why do these dogs not breed true? Why do you get parti and proper colored yorkies in the same litter?

I assume you have the name of this dam and her breeder on a pedigree. So would you care to share your information? Or is your information just hearsay.
You can get both traditional and parti in the same litter if one of the parents is a parti colored and one is a carrier. The carrier will have a parti gene and a traditional gene. That parent can give either gene to the offspring. If it gives a parti gene and the parti parent having only parti gense can only give parti genes, the result will be a parti colored puppy.. if it receives a traditional gene from the carrier parent, it wll be a traditional colored carrier. Because the parti gene is recessive, it must have two of them to be parti colored.
Two parti colored dogs will definitely breed true. Recessive genes will always breed true.
