If YTCA is worried that unscrupulous breeders will take morkies and breed them together to produce parti look a likes and sell them as the real thing, than require everyone who raises off colored yorkies to have their dogs DNA'd to prove parentage? That will solve one problem?
While I can see the reasons for not purposely breeding T-cups, due to increased health issues, hypoglycemia, broken bones ..., there are no increases in health issues with partis and other off colored yorkies (except blue), than there are with standard colored yorkies so I don't see where the problem lies - other than the color. And as we've discussed in previous threads, only some off colors are chastised by the YTCA while other off colors are not???  |
I am sure you have a huge list of people "hiding" the odd ball colores too. And I bet that they are ALL exhibitors and YTCA members to boot. You know, the only people that lie about their dogs. I think we already discussed the black and tan issue on the othr thread so I dont know why you are confused.
And just because the parents are DNA;d against the puppies does not mean that the puppies or parents are pure-bred. The problem will not be solved. The parents all should have been DNA'd back in the 50's, but the technology wasnt available then. I am sure by the amount of BYBrs back in th 80's that many mixes were produced and sold as "rare" colored AKC dogs.
