Here in Canada a new breed submission is also voted on by the members in good standing of the Canadian Kennel Club before it is recognized. These are members of ALL breeds not just the ones for the new breed.
Or if you know someone who is a fancier of a breed recently recognized, ask them what they went through. The Toy Fox Terrier comes to mind as that breed was recognized only last year in Canada and a few years ago in AKC.
Then you might understand what a parent Club for any breed is and what their role is.
You can't walk into an operating theater and tell a surgeon how to do his/her job. You can't stand on the outside of the registered purebred world and tell us how to do it. Get involved and learn. |
If and When the time comes that parti breeders are ready to take that step, I am sure we will learn all that we need to know. When it becomes necessary those who are behind it will get involved and learn
No one is trying to tell anyone how to do anything. Well except for you trying to tell me how to do things.
I just said this is what I hope for in regards to the parti colored yorkies.
As for the parent club, if they claim that the parti coloreds aren't even yorkies, how can the YTCA be their parent club.
Where there is a will, there is a way. I am sure many things have taken place within the AKC that naysayers have said would/could never happen.
I know that there is a lot involved, but nothing is impossible.
Why do you personally have a problem with that. or with me for that matter? Why do you even care if they are developed into a breed of their own? they are beautiful wonderful little dogs, that there appears to be a whole lot of interest in, so why should they be left to fade into obscurity?
They pose no threat to the traditional yorkies and they are no threat to you personally. So what is your problem?
