I do like some of the Biewer yorkies, but not all of them. |
Your male carries the Parti gene from his homozygous Parti sire but your boy won't produce the Parti (white) color unless he's bred to a female who also is a carrier. If you were to breed him to a parti carrier female, approximately 50% of his offspring would be traditional colored (not receiving the parti gene) 25% would be traditional colored parti carriers, they will normally display a large white patch on their chests/necks/chins and/or maybe some paw white (they are heterozygous for the gene) and 25% would be parti colored (homozygous for the gene).
Hope that helps.
