Do you think AKC will ever recognize a 'breed' club for off-standard colored Yorkies when technically, they are the same 'breed?' (Or is there hope that the YTCA will eventually change to allow it?) Would the only difference in standard be the 3 colors, with all else the same? (Or *should* it be in your opinion?) |
Do you mean in reference to partis? I would guess if the parent club, YTCA, who developed the standard...decided to change the standard then these dogs could be shown in confirmation events. They wouldn't ever be accepted as a seperate breed unless AKC changed their present rules... a color variation of an already recognized breed disqualifies them.
As far as biewers...I'm not sure it will ever happen. To have a breed accepted by AKC...they must be accepted into AKC's Foundation Stock Service Program. There are many rules and regulations in order to qualify.
One obstacle I see...the breed must be presently registered with a AKC recognized foreign or domestic registry and there simply isn't one on the list that specifies biewers.

Then again...everything is subject to change.
