That cross breeding could have been brought in 15 20 years ago and once the particolour is produced, you can keep that line going but DNA'ing is not going to find the culprit way back in the pedigree where the indescretion accidental or otherwise occured. |
You make a good point. When I decided to look into the colors, I gave viewpoints from people who had been breeding and showing their dogs more weight. If people that had been showing for 10, 20, 30 years had never seen a piebald gene show up, then chances are great that it was a gene from another breed that gave us Parti's.
