I personally think that one of the issues for me comes when people claim they are 'working to set a standard' but then can't give accurate, detailed, of how and are not coordinating their efforts with others who claim to be doing the same.
(Again, that doesn't mean you all, just in general.)

Given the current popularity of Yorkies in general, I have the same concerns for those who breed standard colors as well.

I know that Nancy never said we were "ruining" the breed. What I was getting at is that regardless of the price we charge, or if we give the puppies away, many will claim that we are not concerned for the breed.

I am not at liberty to say who all is involved in the effort, or what point we are, but there are things in the works to establishing standards. We are not just breeding willy nilly. We do have goals.
