| Sadly, not even remotely close to the truth. Look at how many people are breeding Yorkies these days because of their popularity....you would think that there would be a GREAT gene pool to choose from, but that is far from reality. Ideally if all breeders were breeding to constantly improve and preserve the standard, that would be the case, but it's not. So as a result, you have a bunch of dogs that don't even remotely resemble what a Yorkie should look like and post even here from people who want to know if their Yorkie is pure or why their Yorkie ended up being 16 pounds when they are only supposed to be 7 or take your pick of a dozen genetic illnesses that people are facing with their dogs. No, unfortunately, "the more being bred" is not neccessarily a good thing. |

Well if I was the only one breeding them that would make for an extremely small gene pool. There would not be a whole lot of variety in the pedigrees to choose from. This is what I was talking about. By others breeding goldens there is more variety in the gene pool. | |

| I found this interesting...do you know how the Beiwer standard reads? The Biewers have a written standard for color placement where the partis don't. On the Biewer the head colors are to be White/Blue/Gold and symmetrically colored...the legs, feet, tail tip and chin are to be white and the back should have a black or blue saddle or belt/bands. So...I'm not sure how you feel you are following the Biewer standard for breeding your 2 colored gold and white Yorkies or how you can even remotely compare the two. I have 4 Biewers and they are all blue/white/gold or black/white/gold. |

With my Partis. Snowflake has those colors and patterns. She is Blue white and Gold. On the Gold and white dogs, only in that I am hoping to produce symetrically marked dogs eventually. Note that I say hoping. Congrats on your Biewers they are very pretty dogs. | |

| So...the only thing your're taking from the Biewer standard is the word 'symmetrical'? Thank you...Biewers are very unique. |

| this is Otto On the Biewer the head colors are to be White/Blue/Gold and symmetrically colored...the legs, feet, tail tip and chin are to be white and the back should have a black or blue saddle or belt/bands. I think he fits that description, am I missing something? Last edited by Golden Parti; 09-16-2008 at 02:23 PM. |

| He's very cute. Aaah...you edited to ad to your post while I was replying. Yes, you are missing something...you stated you are trying to follow the Beiwer standard with your dogs and the Biewer standard doesn't allow for 2 colored, gold and white dogs. Some partis do resemble Biewers in their coloring even though they aren't. Last edited by my2boyz; 09-16-2008 at 02:25 PM. |
