It is not the variation of color or genes or change that concern me. It's the fact that there are alot of breeders out there breeding these dogs JUST because they are marketable as something rare. (The same could be said for alot of breeders of standard colors.) People who are of that mindset are what scare me. I'm guessing many of them don't even have purebred Yorkie lines--that scares me.
If there is a coordinated effort to have a standard set and recognized and eligible to show, then I am all for that. The problem is, the lack of movement to do that.
What large scale, coordinated efforts are being made to set a standard, form a unique breed (or variation of breed) club? There are many people claiming they are trying to set a standard to justify breeding off colors. (And please realize that I don't mean this to imply EVERYONE who breeds off colors does this.) I guess that is my concern--kind of hard to put into words.
