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.   |
I can answer or at least what I think...it would have to be it's own breed to be able to show because YTCA will not recognize a parti colored yorkie for the show ring. I don't think there would be the 2/3'ed's vote for that to happen. So to be recognized in the show ring it would have to go through AKC to be it's own breed and I know it takes ALOT and a long process to get a breed recognized. If I'm wrong please those with more knowledge let me know.
