Biewer or Parti? Which do you prefer? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TammyJM · 04-05-2011, 08:32 PM

Those of you with the mainly black partis....are you trying to breed the parti to be mainly dark, as opposed to being equally white? I am just curious because I have seen a couple of breeders now trying to breed a much darker parti. I know everyone has their preference (mine is to an equal amount of white and dark with a bit more lighter face)...I also love a dark saddle across a white back because I look at an all black body (and dark face) and see more of a carrier than a true parti.

I have both and both are equally pretty. I am striving for the dark head/full mask. I am seeing way too many white headed dogs in both the biewer and the Parti. They should have color over both eyes and ears. Fen has more white than you can actually see because the black hair has grown long over the. white hair.

Thought I'd post pics of my Biewer:

Both of my boys are Parti mixes, but I wouldn't turn down a chance to own a Biewer, either!

The only really telling feature in Neo being a parti is the tiny little white soul patch on his chin, and if you look closely you'll see the white and dark speckled patch of skin on his chest. Connor looked like your standard yorkie baby, but by the time he came to me at 11 weeks he started sprouting white/silver hair on the top of his head. At 5-6 months after his first groom his entire body had turned silver! Only his muzzle is tan, now, and he is just gorgeous!

That being said- I resent anyone telling me that MY BOYS are NOT Yorkies! They may not be AKC or "ring quality", but they are most definately Yorkies! That is like telling an adopted person that they are not "really" family!

You know who you are.

I definitely agree about the all white head/face...but I'm sure that some like that as well. I love the way that Livi has gold and black on her ears and around her eyes, but I also love the white that she has that makes the "mask" on her face. Personally, I would miss seeing this on partis as well as the equal amount of white on the body with the black saddle.

Since owning both the lighter and darker parti yorkie...I myself prefer the darker parti. I know...the first thing many say when I say that is...then why don't you get a Biewer. Well, I do have a Biewer..and she has lost all her dark color. LOL
Here are a few pics of my boy "Cabo" as a puppy. His white shows much better on a shorter coat.

I am not trying to say any negative about the mainly black partis. My opinion could also be biased since my eyes are so accustomed to Livi so when I see the mainly black parti, it seems odd to me. I am just used to looking at her and seeing her white, black and gold so when I see the black faces/bodies it kind of throws me some.

Not all biewers have dark heads. Some are just as white as some partis. There is so much misinformation spread about the parti. It's truly a shame.
The parti yorkies can have the dark heads and dark coloring too, it is a matter of selective breeding. My parti male is very dark.

All color a side..Fenmore is one beautiful Yorkie!!

I can see the white on his body in his older pictures, but his face looks like it is getting blacker instead of golder. I have not ever seen one this dark (in the face) as what he appears to be now....do you know if his gold will come in?

This dark parti is new to me so just curious. Do you guys think that these darker guys are more cottony because I know that Livi is very silky where she has her gold and then a bit modified with her black markings.

Mine wouldn't either!

I dont mind if the body is white as long as the head is gold and black because most do lighten up as they get older.
This little girl in my last litter to me was almost perfect, just a little less white on the head.

That's such a sweet baby...I love the markings on her body and I like the white on her head, but I'm one that prefers a mask on the face as opposed to the all black.

Isn't the parti coloring a defect?
