IMO YTCA just protects the true Yorkshire Terrier as it was bred and created to be. With the theory from 1903, there is a chance that the dash of the maltese terrier blood can bring out the parti.
Whew... anyway, it was a nice read, learning about how they took care of the coat in the old-school fashion. Nice natural approach with the oiling and the yorkie diet. |
That is very interesting. thank you. Apparently the silver did not go over well since they no longer have a class for them.
I have no objection to their standards because I don't intend to show. it just confuses me as to why they object to the breeding of them. Why should they care. We aren't bothering them at all.
As I stated before, the tell us that they are not yorkies on one hand then turn around and say they are yorkies therefore we have control over them.
they are beautiful, they are healthy, they ar loving, they make wonderful pets, so why should they not be allowed to exist.
