I am not saying parti yorkies are ugly, I think they are very pretty. They just are not accepted by the standard and shouldnt be reproduced for the big $$$$$. If I wanted a parti colored dog, I would buy a Jananese Chin or a Shih-Tzu. |
It has already been established and proven that the parti color originated from purebred Champion Yorkies. Rather than to go through this all over again I would direct you to read the entire thread. If you still aren't convinced, then come back and bring on your best argument.
As has been discussed extensively, there is more to a yorkshire terrier than the color of it's coat. Personality is a big factor. I do not care to own a Japanese Chin or a Shih-tzu. I prefer the personality of the yorkie.
Parti colored yorkies have a variety of coat textures just like the traditional colored yorkies do.
Just because they are not accepted today, does not mean they will not be accepted at some time in the future. I am quite sure, that those who choose to take on the challenge of establishing a breed club for the parti colored yorkies will be thuroughly knowledgable and up to the task of getting the job done. I am sure that the AKC will be very helpfull in insturcting those persons as to how to go about it and what needs to be done.
I appreciate all the concern that is being given about how to go about starting a breed club. I only wonder where you gained your knowledge and experience in this matter. Perhaps you can give us some pointers on what we need to do first. Do we start by forming the club, or by purchasing and breeding the dogs?
