Wow... that was a marathon read
jeanieK your parti yorkies are gorgeous!
All i can say from reading this is THANK GOD i just have Buddy as a much loved pet, i really couldn't handle what appears to be alot of snobbery and bitching that surrounds showing dogs.
I read on here once someone who shows her Yorkies talking about wrapping the coat and how she would NEVER let them go out onto grass as 'sharp blades of grass' can damage the coat. I felt soooo sorry for them poor babies never ever getting to run through fresh grass with the wind blowing their hair. i just hoped that this wasn't true off all yorkies who are shown.
Its amazing really if we were talking about 'humans' and mixed breeding or not producing the right colour children, we'd be strung up as racists, and the world would be a much sadder less colourful place.
