I do not agree with "breeders" that are purposely breeding faults. The Yorkie was never supposed to be chocolate, parti, golden, or born blue. Why would anyone want to breed a fault back into a breed?? Maybe we should all start changing all the breed standards for every breed!! How about Labradors with spots like a dalmation?? How about a chocolate Samoyed?? Maybe we should do away with all the breeds as we know them and create new ones?? I can see the dog show of the future: All chocolates in ring 1, gray dogs in ring 2, parti dogs in ring 3, etc.LOL
What I am getting at is why change a breed standard that has been the standard for many, many years just to please the few that want to purposely breed in faults.?You would not have the Yorkie breed today if it wernt for the dedicated Yorkie fanciers that didnt deviate from the standard.Its pretty amazing that 99% of the responsible breeders do not have any of these designer colors.
Well, its gettin dark. I hae to go feed my ADGA Nubian Dairy Goats. Its breeding season. Maybe I will start breeding so the ears get shorter.
