Ladies,
This is a breed registry, not a color registry. A common defination of Breed goes something like this:
Breed : a group of animals or plants presumably related by descent from common ancestors and visibly similar in
most characters.
Whether we like it or not these genes are in some of our yorkies, and not just the parti colored yorkies, the gene is in many unsuspecting traditional colored yorkies of, more than likely, many different bloodlines.
Just because some (many) people say or believe that there was never a piebald dog bred (or piebald carrier) in the early days of the breed, doesn't mean that's correct?
Until you can disprove that the gene wasn't already in the early cross-bred, unregistered terriers who began our breed
or until you can prove that the gene was introduced in 1920 by an accidental breeding, or 1950 by a sloppy back yard breeder or in 1990 by a show breeder who was trying to improve the coat texture of their champion dogs, I'd rather look at the facts,
listen to the current scientific information and have an open mind.
Obviously AKC feels the same way, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed Parti to be registered 4 years ago. It's ashame that the majority of current YTCA, just doesn't see.
