BEWARE OF ANY POTENTIAL TRI OR PARTI YORKIE SCAMMERS, BREEDERS MAKE
CLAIMS TO HAVE PURE BRED YORKIE WHO ARE WHITE IN COLOUR AND SELLING THEM AS RARE . TAKE A LOOK AT THE ADVERTS IN
THE DOGS FOR SALES SITES IN THE UK AND YOU WILL SEE PUPS WITH PINK NOSES, JUST LIKE CHI AND POMS....MUTATIONS OF CROSS
BREEDING OFTEN CALLED F1 HYBRIDS OR SPLITTERS.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF ADVERTS FROM 2006, WHICH CLEARLY SHOW EARLY
ATTEMPTS OF THE DESIGNER DOG MIXED BREEDING, NOW CLAIMS ARE BEING MADE THAT THESE CROSS BRED YORKIE ARE A PURE BRED DNA
TESTED YORKIE, WITH THE COLOUR OF THE BIEWER. THE BIEWER TERRIER IS A DISTINCT NEW BREED, ACCEPTED BY KUSA AS A BREED
IN IT'S OWN RIGHT. THIS DOES NOT REFER TO BIEWER YORKSHIRE TERRIER, BIEWER A LA POM PON OR TRI YORKSHIRE TERRIER (NON
OF THOSE BREEDS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY AN FCI AFFILIATED CLUB OR REGISTRATION AUTHORITY).
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL SCAM.
IF YOU ARE BUYING A PUP, WHOSE BREEDER
CLAIMS TO BE A PURE BRED DOG, EITHER UK BRED OR IMPORTED, YOU SHOULD CHECK ALL PAPERWORK IS OFFICIAL, NOT A MADE UP BREEDERS
OWN PEDIGREE PAPER WORK OR THAT OF A FOREIGN UNRECOGNISED MICKEY MOUSE REGISTRATION AUTHORITY.
ASK FOR THE PROOF OF
DNA TESTING OF THE PUPS AND THEIR PARENTS AND THE GRAND PARENTS OF ALL DOGS ON THE PEDIGREE CERTIFICATES.
ASK FOR A RECEIPT
OF PURCHASE.
KEEP A COPY OF THE ADVERT WHERE YOU SAW THE PUP ADVERTISED.
IF YOUR DOG GROWS UP TO BE SOMETHING WHICH
YOU WERE NOT TOLD IT WOULD BE AND THE ADVERT IS SUSPECT AND DOES NOT MEET THE TERMS AS STATED, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM
COMPENSATION AGAINST THE SELLER, CONTACT TRADING STANDARDS OR BETTER STILL CONTACT "FAKE BRITAIN".
IF YOU ARE
SHOWN A CERTIFICATE FOR DNA FROM A TESTING CENTRE, PLEASE CONTACT THAT TESTING CENTRE. MOUTH SWOBS ARE NOT PROOF OF
DOG AUTHENTICITY, IF THE GRAND PARENTS OF ALL THE DOGS HAVE NOT BEEN DNA TESTED IT COULD BE VERY EASY FOR A BREEDER TO TAKE
A SWOB FROM ANY DOGS MOUTH AND CLAIM IT IS THE PARENT OF A PUP. ALL TESTS SHOULD BE SIGNED OFF BY THE SELLERS VET. BREEDERS
MAY TELL YOU THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE PARENTS TO THE SIRE AND DAM OF THE PUPS, AS THEY HAVE SOLD THEM ON, OR OH DEAR THEY HAVE
PASSED AWAY. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THEIR MOTIVES FOR MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS. WHY WOULD A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER NOT HAVE THE NEW
OWNERS ADDRESS FOR YOU TO CHECK THE DOG OUT AND BE WILLING TO PASS IT ON TO YOU.
POTENTIAL TRI OR PARTI YORKIE
BREEDERS WHO MAY STATE THEIR PUPS ARE DNA TESTED, WOULD NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TESTED THE PARENTS OF THOSE PUPS, AND THE GRAND
PARENTS OF THE SIRE AND DAMS USED IN THEIR CREATIONS.
A TRI YORKSHIRE TERRIER CANNOT BE REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM
KENNEL CLUB, UNLESS THE PARENTS WERE REGISTERED WITH THE UK KENNEL CLUB, AND THE UK KENNEL CLUB DO NOT RECOGNISE THE COLOUR
TRI/PARTI/WHITE AS A COLOUR WITHIN THE PURE BRED YORKIE BREED STANDARD AND CONFORMATION.
SPEAK TO THE SELLERS VET, REQUEST
PERMISSION TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SELLERS BREEDING FILES.
ASK FOR REFERENCES FROM OTHER BUYERS.
LOOK ON GOOGLE UNDER
THE SELLERS NAME, TELEPHONE AND EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ALL THE PREVIOUS ADVERTS THEY HAVE POTENTIALLY PLACED, GOOGLE
KEEP THEM FOR YEARS. YOU WILL POTENTIALLY FIND THESE BREEDERS SELLING A NUMBER OF BREEDS OF DOGS, ALL USED IN THEIR DESIGNER
DOG BREEDING.
THE UNITED KINGDOM KENNEL CLUB DO NOT REGISTER THE COLOURS WHITE, TRI
OR PARTI, AS A PURE BREED COLOUR FOR A YORKSHIRE TERRIER AND THE PUP WILL NOT BE SOLD WITH A KENNEL CLUB PEDIGREE, BUT
A MADE UP BREEDERS VERSION.

Did you know the Animal health Trust in the United Kingdom
- Clinical Services offer Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response tests for puppies with predominantly white coats, as they are
often disposed to deafness.
Did you know the AKC/UK, do not recognise a White/Chocolate/Fawn/Gold Dust/Parti/Tri Yorkshire
Terrier as a standard for a pure bred Yorkshire Terrier!
Did you know Parti/Tri Yorkie breeders who
mix breed their dogs with a Biewer Yorkshire Terrier are NOT recognised by AKC/UK or any FCI affiliated Organisation.
Did you know AKC do not allow Parti/Tri/White/Chocolate/Gold Dust Coloured Yorkie to show their dogs, under
breed standard and conformation shows.
Did you know Parti/Tri/Colourful Yorkie breeders, are supplying
a market for a dog that is against all ethics.
Kennel Clubs Rules state: a breeder/seller: Will not knowingly misrepresent the characteristics of the breed nor falsely advertise dogs.
Definition
of Characteristic: Being a feature that helps to distinguish
a person or thing; distinctive: n. 1. A feature that helps to identify, tell apart, or describe recognizably; a distinguishing mark or trait.
Why would a breeder continue to breed a colour into a dog, which is quite blantantly misrepresenting the characteristics
of that breed. Standards and Conformations are drawn up by breed clubs for their dogs, to protect the ancestry and history
of that breed.
Dog Registries: who’s who and who’s not
Registries are not a guarantee of quality. Simply put, a registered puppy was born to registered parents. They rely on breeders
to be honest when filling out the forms. A puppy does not have to pass any stringent tests to be registered;
nor does it have to be healthy or come from healthy stock. Its temperament can encompass the worst of a breed
and it still can be registered. No one from a registry examines the puppy or its parents before registration takes
place. There are many registries for dogs, and it can get pretty confusing. Puppy
buyers often think they're getting something special when they're not, and they can pay a high price for it. Some
registries seem to be out for a fast buck from ignorant puppy buyers and breeders. They will register dogs for breeders who
have been suspended from other registries (usually for record keeping violations), or will register dogs that other registries
won't (mixed breeds, unknown pedigree, as with Pet Lovers Registration in UK). Some registries will allow the registration
of mixed breeds, sometimes called "new rare breeds", for breeding purposes. Puppy buyers are sometimes fooled into
paying hundreds of pounds for a "registered" mutt. Being a registered mutt does not make a dog any different
from a similar one sitting in a shelter, and it certainly does not make a mutt into a purebred. If your dog is registered
with anything other than UK Kennel Club, AKC, United Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club, the chances of your pup being
bred by an irresponsible breeder rises dramatically, & even registered breeders are not conclusive proof of a good quality,
healthy dog! The oldest and most recognized purebred dog registries are United Kingdom Kennel Club and in North
America are AKC (American Kennel Club) CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) and UKC (United Kennel Club). In addition, some breed clubs
also have their own registries, such as Australian Shepard (ASCA). Some breeds are not recognized by the American Kennel Club.
You should research the registries for these breeds and be sure that the litter is properly certified as purebred. For example,
some breeds in the United States are registered by the United Kennel Club. The UKC is a well-respected registry for many rare
breeds as well as those recognized by the AKC. If you are shopping for a breed not recognized by the AKC, do your homework
and find out which breed registries are commonly used by respected breeders.
Some new breeds also have their own
registries, whilst awaiting KC approvals, such as the Biewer Terrier Registry (BTRA), who DNA test their dogs, Dam & Sire matings
as proof of parentage. This does not happen with even our so called "Recognised" registries. So you can see how
there are loop holes in the system, should an unscrupulous breeder such as the new "parti" gang, if they wished
to pop a little white colour into a dog, and claim it is a "rare" colour.
History is always the indicator
of a breed, and until 1984 with the conception of the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier (surely the name denotes a crossing somewhere)
there were NO "White Yorkie with Black saddles on their backs", claiming to be a pure bred dog!

Other Useful Information
The following information
is used with permission from RSPCA Thinking of getting a puppy? Make sure you know where your puppy comes from.
Buying a puppy is not as simple as you may think. Sadly, not all puppy breeders and sellers are reputable.
There
is a dark side to the trade - puppy trafficking. This is where puppies are bred in large numbers for profit, often with little
regard for animal welfare. Many puppies fall sick and some die.
To avoid getting caught out by the puppy traffickers,
here's some simple steps you can take:
Always see a puppy with its mother
You should
always see a puppy with its mother in the place where the puppy was bred. Ideally you should see the father too, or at least
a photo of him. If the breeder cannot show you the mother or father, you should be suspicious.
Find out
about the puppy's background
Get as much information as possible about where the puppy has come from, and
beware if the breeder is from outside the UK.
Has the puppy REALLY been vaccinated?
If you
are told the puppy has been vaccinated, ask to see the vaccination card. Beware that vaccination cards are easy to fake -
if the veterinary surgeon's contact details are not visible, or has an address from outside the UK, the card may be fake.
Pedigree certificates are not a guarantee
Bear in
mind that pedigree certificates are not a guarantee for the condition of your puppy, and may not even mean you are being sold
a pure-bred dog.
Always see a puppy in the place it was bred
Don't ever buy from
someone who offers to deliver your puppy, or who arranges to meet you somewhere.
Concerned about the welfare
of a puppy?
Never buy a puppy just because you feel sorry for it. If you are concerned about the health or welfare
of a puppy, please contact the RSPCA 24-hour cruelty and advice line: 0300 1234 999.
What
to do if things go wrong If you are concerned about how you were sold the puppy, please
contact Consumer Direct 08454 04 05 06 or the local authority responsible for the area you bought it from (details can be found in
the phone book or on the internet). If you suspect the puppy may have come from abroad and does not have a Pet Passport it
may be in contravention of UK anti-rabies legislation. Please contact either Trading Standards or Environmental health services
at your local authority (depending on where you live). Alternatively you can report the matter to your nearest Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Animal Health Office. For more information about buying
a puppy visit the RSPCA’s website http://www.rspca.org.uk/buyingapuppy Please also remember to report all problem
to ePupz so we can also take action and and help the Authorities mentioned above.
The Domestic Dog, its evolution, behaviour
and interactions with people, edited by James Serpell, Cambridge University press, is a must have book for any serious
researcher of dogs.The combined results of the studies of behaviour, morphology, vocalization and
molecular biology all indicate the principal, if not only ancestor of the dog is the wolf, Canis Lupus. "Belyaev"
selected for behaviour:tameness. The resulting dog-like physical characteristics were not selected for. They
could not have been selected for, since they did not exist in the ancestor, even as rare recessives. Some characteristics
of dogs, such as piebald coats, droppy ears, curly tails or biannual estrus are not found in wolves, i.e there is no
evolution homologue.The wolves and all breeds of dog have identical karyotypes (To classify and array (the chromosome complement
of an organism or a species) according to the arrangement, number, size, shape, or other characteristics of the chromosomes), and
are interfertile, suggests that the only genetic differences are allelomorphic (One member of a pair or series of genes that
occupy a specific position on a specific chromosome), that is, changes in the rates and times at which various developmental
events occur. Differences in coat colour and pattern, for example, are due to allelic (One member of a pair or series of genes
that occupy a specific position on a specific chromosome) differences in the production and distribution of melanin (Little,1957;Burns
1966). A White dog does not have genes for white, rather it produces less of the pigment (melanin) that makes another dog
black, but genes for the pigment melanin also affect other derivatives of the same tyrosine pathway, such as hormones
(eg: adrenalin) and neurotransmitters (eg:dopamine), all of which are involved in the tameable/trainable package. Thus what
seems to be selection for a single gene, or more properly for an allelic form of a gene, produces large morphological and
behavioural effects.The study of coat colour of a breed of dogs as seen as the "norm" for that breed, would clarify
in detail the genes necessary to hold those colours or not as may be with a WHITE DOG.
Having discussed the extensive
research and testing that has been carried out on the "Biewer Terrier" with Mars genetocists, here a section of
an email received:
" I should point out that many breeds have very different genetic profiles from different
global locations – this is often due to a phenomenon called population stratification.
Also that a trait like canine coat colouration can be influenced by very few genes and that a single novel genetic mutation
could occur in an individual dog at any breeding causing it to take on a non-standard form – that is the
beauty of genetics and the reason why every mammal is an individual rather
than clones. Natural variation is inherent within any breed".
"All
of the US Biewer Terriers that we have tested have a slightly different genetic profile than the US and UK bred
standard Yorkshire Terriers and as such we can clearly differentiate the two breeds in that locale using genetic analysis
– although it must be said that the breeds are very similar at the genetic level and clearly share the majority of genetic
information and very close common ancestry".
Hence
the term COUSINS, when referring to the Biewer Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier, these two breeds have very different temprements
and types. The "Parti" Yorkie is a new colour to show up in the pure bred Yorkshire Terrier in America, 10+ years
after Herr Biewers' dogs which could be a single novel genetic mutation in a single dog at any breeding. This would
account for Herr Biewer to have had a single dog which lacks melanin (colour), to suggest that lack of pigmentation
would continue within the line of more then one dog as suggested by the many "Biewer Yorkshire" & "Parti
Yorkshire" dogs as seen today, lacks study. As Herr Biewers' creations were not DNA tested, there is no evidence
to suggest it was anything other then a single occurence only, it may also suggest that there was infact, at
least two or more dogs that went into Herr Biewers' new little creations as the colour "White"
being the more evident shown colour, the new dominant colour trait. The "Biewer Terrier" has been DNA
tested and proven to be a new breed. The "Parti" Yorkshire does not conform to breed standards, breed club conformations or
historical written works. We have NO historical pedigree records within the originating breed country that a White dog with
a Black saddle, has EVER shown as being written by any historian or other as being a pure bred Yorkshire Terrier. The point
should also be noted the American Kennel Club (AKC) who register the "Tri" or "Parti" coloured
Yorkshire Terrier are a registration authority only and NOT a breed club.
