As Not To Hi-Jack anothers thread Even though a thread I have been reading and even posted on is going in this direction, I decided to start the topic here and hopefully get an answer to this question... Has research of the Parti isolated what has come to be known as the "Parti Gene"? What about in the other colors coming out, the Golden Gene, the Chocolate Gene? When a breeder states their puppies carry the parti gene, do they DNA each dog to prove it? |
My understanding about the Golden Yorkies is that it's not a gene at all, but rather incorrect markings that make it appear gold. Could be wrong. As far as the Parti gene, I don't believe there is a test specifically for it at this time. And because it is recessive, most traditional color owners don't even realize that it's in their lines until they throw a Parti colored pup. Someone correct me if I'm not understanding this correctly. |
I can't wait to read responses. LOL at your thread title. I enjoy learning new things when I willingly search for them... |
My head hurt but let me grab a snack :2popkorn: ~I'll check back in about 10 days and 5,000 posts later. :rolleyes: |

I do wish the gene could be isolated and the exact make-up of the yorkie be known and this debate could be settled once and for all. Quote:

A university of Southern California at Berkley Professor was able to isolate a single gene in a traditional German Shepherd (a male) who had produced a Tri-Color Shepherd. This gene is now called the "Panda Gene". With all of the disagreements no one has talked about the scientific research available. In my opinion pedigrees can be unreliable...it's a piece of paper. Genetic testing of these dogs will answer all questions. |

My "Son"...A traditional Black and Red Shepherd who's mother was a Panda, has been DNA does not carry the "Panda Gene". He is also not called a "splitter" LOL |
While it's interesting...the difference is the mode of inheritance. It has been scientifically proven the coloring in partis and biewers is the result of the recessive piebald gene. Both parents must offer the gene for it to be expressed. In panda shepherds...the mode is a single dominate. Phenom Shepherds - Genetic Panda Info My understanding of the 40 some thousand genes that comprise a dog's "make up"...the most research and known information is in regards to coat color. There is a genetic marker available for the piebald gene so yes... whether a dog was a "carrier" or "splitter" could be determined via DNA. |

Now what about the other colors? Golden? Chocolate? These are specific colors. Are there markers for them? |
