Seriously what is the difference? | Now you know of four more... Spoiled Biewer Yorkies, Spoiled Parti Yorkies, Spoiled Rotten Biewer Yorkies, and Spoiled Rotten Parti Yorkies... :D
Seriously though to answer your question, both the Parti and Biewer carry a recessive piebald gene. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was developed in Germany, and can be traced back to German lines. A standard has been set for the Biewer. The Parti comes from America and is still in the development stage. There are Parti's that are registered with the AKC presently, but I think AKC or YTCA have voted against it now. Not sure of all the details... but there is quite a controversy surrounding these "off-colored" yorkies.
If you want to learn more, you can search on this site for Biewer or Parti and can find a whole bunch of info... Hopefully some of the Parti owners will come on and tell you more about their dogs.
Anymore questions... be sure to ask away -- we're just like everyone else... we love to talk about our babies!!! |
