We'd have more luck petitioning the AKC than the YTCA. I believe that the first thing that needs to be done, is to form a club for the color variations, and set some standards, and go from there. |
YTCA members are there to protect the "blue-print" or standard of the Yorkshire Terrier. This standard never included non-standard colors as parti, blonde, chocolate, all silver, or any other color that is not a metallic blue saddle and a shaded tan head and legs. Yes, they are against color variations, as well they should be, amoung other important things as structure, conformation, gait and health issues. There are many other criteria to becoming a YTCA member than just "being against" color variations.
