Just so you all know.. Im just trying to understand what the big deal is myself. AKC registers these pups so there had to be some proof that these dogs were pure yorkies right? I honestly dont care either way, mixes or purebred.. as most of you know all ready Im a "mutt" fan  and they are beautiful dogs.  |
The information on the YTCA site is totally out dated. what they have written there has been proven wrong. Yorkie breeders from way back, show breeders, the leading authority on yorkies in the United States, have admitted to the AKC that they had parti colored yorkies showing up in their Champion line for many decades before anyone even knew of their existance.
The YTCA has the right to tell their members which colors they can breed, but they do not have the right to dictate to the rest of us which colors should live and which colors should die.
Sue (Pinehaven) has done extensive reserch on the history and the genetics of the yorkshire terrier. Any dog that was created from various other dogs is going to carry all of the genetics of all of the other dogs. And there is always the possibility of those recessve genes showing up.
