You misunderstood. It's not the same pair of dogs. Mr. Biewer purchased his two standard yorkshire terriers from a kennel named Streamglen. The breeding that resulted in the first biewer puppies was a pairing of these dogs.

Supposedly other yorkshire terriers from the same kennel were shipped to the US.

So far I have only bred parti to traditional colored or to goldens, bc I did not have a parti stud. I now have a parti stud And will be breeding parti to parti in the future.

the little guy in my avatar is my new little stud.

A biewer's coloring is not a fault...it is exactly how the dogs are supposed to be.

The white on both dogs is the result of a the recessive pie bald gene. The color placement on a biewer is another gene entirely. I've read the irish spotting gene...but some argue that also.

I have oftened wondered about the "irish spotting gene". And once thought this gene was in play in the makeup of the Biewers markings.

However, I myself have seen very few irish marked Biewers. One was just born very close to being an Irish marked in a litter a friend had two weeks ago, and even that pup is not a true irish marked as she doesn't have the white neck ring.

Now that the Biewer is getting a following...and is being bred over and over again...we are seeing the color placements getting just as sporadic as those of the parti yorkies. In other words...just as many Biewers today, are being born without the black saddle as those that are born with it.

Parti or "pie bald" pattern is considered any breakage of the black saddle...and most all Biewers have that to one degree or another.

Here is a good link that shows the markings of pie bald and Irish spotting patterns,

I thought you meant from the same pair of dogs, but even from the same kennel, I had not heard that. Do you know which kennel they were shipped to?

there was one story that some kennel in OK had gotten one from Germany, but there was never any proof of that nor were there any partis being traced to that kennel.

Parti to traditional - do you get any parti pups when you do that? If parti is recessive, wouldnt you get only carriers?

Read how this article describes the irish spotting gene...specifically the placement of the color or maybe I should say lack of....since it is specifically refering to the white placement.

Nikkos Orange Blossom was out of Streamglen Milady which was out of Streamglen Shaun. So the partis do have the Streamglen line.

I have no idea. Pinehaven may.

Where did Nikko's lines come from? I mean the original dog.

There's your answer, JeanieK.

the traditionals must be carriers in order to get parti colored pups.

But the Wildweir line now admits to getting them in their line also, but at the time they did not reveal that. So it's possible that there was more than one line producing them. Unless Wildweir bought dogs from nikko.

Dog Coat Colour Genetics

If the presence of white in dog coats is a result of incomplete dominance and not a recessive gene, wouldn't breeding a parti to a traditional result in some expression of white in all of the pups?

[Breezeaway]

All I know is in my research the partis and the biewers both go back to Streamglen and because most yorkies have Wildweir in their lines because they were a famous line you see it in the partis and Biewers.

Nikko's Rolls Royce Ashley has both Streamglen and Wildweir ancestors
