| Is my boy a parti carrier with that gene? He is 2 years old and was born with that common white patch on his chest... except. the white patch never ultimately turned tan like they usually do... in fact it brightened and solidified as a white patch... does this mean that if i were to breed him with a parti female i may end up with a few parti pups? like does the solid white show signs of the parti gene? thanks guys! |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | All breeds with a recessive pie bald gene have ticking (freckles)...if you don't see freckles on his body then no, he's not a carrier. A small white patch on the chest is common enough the YTCA now considers it within standard.
