Some small changes have been made over the years but color has always remained the same. Partis have never been included. Do you think the standard should be changed just because a pink Yorkie can be bred or because indiscriminate breeders can produce dogs so far from the standard? I have my own opinions about where the "off colores" came from. To bad there was no DNA or kennel inspections back then. And I do believe Sue wrote that the parti gene came from the Maltese amoung others. |
Have you forgotten that partis and Biewers both came from traditional colored yorkies? Why is it OK for Biewers to be bred and not partis? It would make no sense to try to change the biewer standard to the traditional colored since there is already a club for them. However there is no club for the partis and they are every bit as much yorkies as the biewer. And yes if someone comes up with a pink yorkie without mixing in any other breed then they should be included.
Partis are the off spring of champions.
And yes Sue did say that and that issue has aready been addressed.
