The
Return Of Parti Color Yorkie Puppies
The
rarest and most highly sought-after Yorkshire Terrier puppies in
today’s market are Parti Color Yorkie puppies. This is due to both
their unusual coloring and the uniquely adorable appearance of
“Yorkies.” The word
“Parti” originally referred to any dog with “more than one
color.” Over time,
however, the term has come to describe a dog that is basically white
with a particular color pattern (spots or patches).
Parti Color Yorkies first came on the scene in the 1800s.
However, the Parent Club made a decision at the time that the preferred
color for Yorkshire Terrier was the standard colors you see today. As a
direct result, the tiny Parti Colored Yorkie pups were not accepted and
were essentially “banished” (given away without any pedigree
papers). This remained their fate for over a century.
In
1983, however, a Yorkshire Terrier named “Rolls Royce Ashley” won
the Best of Show at Crufts and was selected Dog of the Year.
This Yorkie Stud went on to become the patriarch of our exclusive
line of AKC registered Parti Color Yorkies. The AKC officially accepted
our Parties after voluminous DNA-tracing. The most common characteristic
of our Parti Color Yorkies is a basic white body with other colors
including such unique combinations as white/black/blue and
white/black/tan.
The
Real Deal
Many
people have the mistaken notion that a Parti Color Yorkie is not eligible
for AKC registration. This is simply not true. In fact, Parti Colored
Yorkshire Terriers can be registered with the AKC. Every one of our rare
AKC registered Parti Color Yorkies is 100% purebred
Yorkshire Terrier. AKC has designated Parti colored Yorkie pups
alternate color number as shown in the chart. However, for show
purposes, while they are accepted in the obedience ring, Parti Yorkshire
Terrier Pups are not yet eligible to be shown in the confirmation ring.
The
Mating Game
The
AKC requires four (4) photos of each puppy (front, back and both sides)
to be sent in with the registration papers as the Parti Color puppy is registered on
a case-by-case basis. We are very proud of our 100% acceptance rating by
this process to date (all of
our Yorkies have excellent bloodlines and pedigrees). The Parti gene is
recessive and must be on both the sire’s and the dam’s pedigrees. If
you breed a Parti Color Yorkie breeder to another Parti Color, ALL the
puppies will be Parti Color. However, if you breed a Parti Color to a
Parti Color carrier, this will
result in two Party Color puppies and two Parti Color carrier puppies.
Breeding two Parti Color carriers
will yield one Parti Color pup, two Parti Color carrier pups and one
standard color puppy. A Parti Color carrier
bred with a standard color Yorkie will produce two Parti Color carriers
and two standard color pups. Naturally, two standard color Yorkies, when
bred, will result in all standard color puppies. Note: These figures are
averages based on a litter of four puppies. You may get more of the
Parti Color Yorkie puppies in one litter and less in another.
