I really think it would be nice if instead of seeking acceptance to be included in the standard, which is quite impossible since YTCA is for the yorkshire terrier standard representative of the true yorkshire terrier breed, parti breeders can have their own group. In this way they can seek to protect their breeding against those who simply breed for money and for puppy milling since parti yorkie breeders would just want to share their nice experience for those who want something unique. They can also further any studies about parti specific concerns if there's any on top of the general yorkie breed concern. It won't be an official club as compared to the YTCA, but it would definitely be a nice move against puppymillers and such. At least, they can educate well that partis are not of standard coloring and be able to choose to which hands these parti carriers (those with full registration and breeding rights) and promote responsible breeding without threatening the existence of the true and standard yorkies. In this way, the parti lines will be controlled and they can improve other aspects aside from the color. JMO. |
