JeanieK, I know that you have been working w/ partis for a while now and I know that you have put alot of time and effort into what you are doing. I would be interested in your opinion of a few things I'm curious about in regards to the partis: Are parti breeders trying to work to get them recognized as a separate breed, or just a separate color variation? AKC already recognizes the color though....is the goal to have them accepted in shows? Are they working to get a set 'parti standard?' What is the overall goal of parti breeders and is it a combined, joint effort, or are parti breeders stiving to acheive their own goals individually?
I guess what I'm saying is, when it is stated that "parti breeders are working to get them accpeted," what are the specific goals there?  |
First of all, I thought the Biewers were a breed separate from the Yorkshire Terriers. Isn't there a Biewer Club and registry???
I do not know the motives of all parti breeders, I'm sure that some are just in it for the fun or the money. The breeders that I have had contact with have expressed an interest of establishing them as a breed of their own. Perhaps others have in mind to try to convince the YTCA to include the parti color.
The YTCA is just a group of people that made up a bunch of standards. Over the years those standards have changed, I'm sure against a lot of opposition. The group will change and standards will change again and again.
