Is the group you are working w/ united in their efforts? So you guys have set a common standard to work towards at least among yourselves...or are you just working towards your own individual ideas in regards to standards right now? What do you (and your group) feel like the standards should be?

Are you all trying to get parties recognized as a breed itself, or a variation of color that qualifies to be shown. If it is it's own breed, wouldn't that cut all ties w/ the YTCA? Do you forsee AKC as requiring extensive genetic testing on original parti breeding stock to prove that they were from standard colored Yorkies? (To disprove the theory that there was Maltese or other breed blood intigrated?)
Sorry for bombarding you with questions, but honestly, I really appreciate your input on the subject. Like you said, many are afraid to come forward right now and it's not common that you find someone who HAS actually researched them and is actively working towards making them 'official,' for lack of better term and trying to get their program organized. (And it's even more unusual to be able to keep a thread civil long enough to be able to discuss it in a civil manner.
) Thanks for taking the time to share.
