If a person is serious and wants to develop a good line... they will want to improve...so how do you improve if you do not use champion standard lines? Where do better and better non-standard colors come from if not from established lines? You might say they come from better and better non-standard colors..but a Parti breeder recently total me the gene pool as so small they needed to breed into standard lines to maintain health etc...I suggested using South American Yorkies as many of those breeders are okay with it...
I respect the German Biewer breeders..they are not looking to be accepted as an AKC Yorkie, most are quite happy with their lovely Biewers and own clubs..at least I think that is the thinking..at this point it is all a mess.... |
I guess (as pointed out and discussed in other threads) that's one reason why
ALL reputable show breeders will spay/neuter their dogs before they go to another home - so that no one will mess with their bloodlines?
The Nikkos parti line is very closely bred, so yes, we need to outcross with traditional colored yorkies to produce parti carriers but there are new parti lines that are cropping out of different traditional lines too that are now being used to breed back to the Nikkos line.

I've tried to answer the questions that I feel I can honestly answer but I've asked one question in this thread and in previous threads that have completely been avoided ....
My question is:
Why are we only hearing people complain about the off colors of parti, red, chocolate and golden and no one has answered why there are not the same negative feelings about black/gold, black/tan and blue/gold off colors, since they are now just as "off colored" as the others are?
Could someone please honestly respond to my question?
