about the  parti
colors
Patrtis come in 3 genetic types
Irish Parti-White collar, white chest, white legs. most the time
with blaze. This is the most common parti
Spotted Parti-This dog is over 60% white, with spots on the
back.
Piebald Parti- This dog has over 80% white. There are from
none to 3 spots on the body. Many times there is only a spot
over one eye. This is the rarest parti.
All parti must carry at least 2 of these genes. Irish is more
dominant over both spotted and piebald. Spotted is dominant
over piebald. Parti is recessive, both parents must carry the
gene to produce it. 2 partis bred together will always produce
parti.
They act on each other. If a dog has a gene for Irish parti, and
one for piebald parti, he may look like a spotted parti. Each
parent gives one gene to the puppy. If both parents look
spotted, but are genetically, 1-Irish, and 1-piebald, then each
parent could give 1-Irish, and the pup would end up with 2
genes for Irish parti, and be a Irish parti. This is how a parti can
be born that has less white than both his parents.  An Irish
marked parti can carry the gene for both spotted, or piebald,
and could throw pups with more white than he or she has. This
is all very confusing,but this is where knowing the pedigree of
the the dogs comes in real handy. Partis come in every color,
from the lightest cream, to black. All partis are beautiful, with
little white or tons of white.  We enjoy them all. Enjoy the
pictures.
