What it amounts to is as long as there are dogs there will be controversy, It is in just about every breed. In the 80's I raised and trained Brittanys. The Black and white Brittany was a no no in the American Brittany club. But the original Brittanys included black and white. The ABC decided they would not allow the B&W in their standards. The club decided this, Not AKC. Akc still registers B &W but they cannot be shown in the US because of the club standards. The war did a lot of damage to the Brittany Spaniel in France and after the war black was allowed back in as an acceptable coloration because of the much depleted gene pool for the Brittany Spaniel in Europe. It was and is felt that the gene pool in the United States is sufficiently rich that there is no need to change the standard and allow black colorationeven though the original Brittanys included B & W. Which is now why they are separated breeds" The Brittany, in the USA and the "French Brittany" but actually really the same . Only color separates them. |

IMO they need to go with height and length standards instead of weight anyway. Weight on dogs is so variable, you can have a 12 inch dog that weighs 5 lbs and a 7 inch dog that weighs 8 lbs. |
I think it is more likely that the the gene that causes parti color in yorkies (whether it happened in the development of the YT or more recently) is from a breed or precursor to a breed where you regularly see piebald as a coat pattern. This is an interesting article on the various alleles involved in coat color genetics. Coat Color Genetics I am not sure why adding in a maltese here or there would cause parti color... |

A side note...all dogs who possess this gene have ticking. Every dog in every breed. |
The earliest known Maltese on record in the United States was born in 1873. He was entered at Westminster in 1879 and was also the first colored Maltese shown here. Entered as a "Maltese Skye Terrier," he was described as being white with black ears. |
