I can only say I breed for show yorkies for myself and not pets but unfortunately not every pup will turn out to be show so I would have to place in a pet home so I do breed to the breed standard or as close as I can and adhere to the YTCA code of conduct and code of ethics and so when an opinion on a public forum is asked I will give an opinion as to what I believe and stand for. It may not be a popluar opinion to a parti or brewer breeder but it's mine and what I believe  But...I have never said a parti breeder was not reputable I just don't believe in breeding a known fault. Please do not think I'm bashing anyone because I'm not it's just I'm stating what I believe and practice

I can respect what you are saying and that you have put a lot of work into showing your fur babies. All that I am saying is that I do not believe something just because someone else (in this case,the YTCA) says it's so. I have always been one that wants to learn and to conclude my own opinions based on what makes sense to me. With that said (written...lol!), I repeat....I do not agree that the parti color is a fault, it is genetics! It is only a fault to those that adhere to what a group tells them is so. I really do get what you are saying, I do,but genetics should not be written off so easily. If YTCA loves the breed as much as they proclaim, then why deny the true beginning of this breed and justify it as, "bettering the breed"?
