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 "big deal" is that if you keep trying to change the parent breed standard, the breed will no longer look like the breed anymore. Reputable breeders breed to the breed standard and not to the latest popular fault being purposely breed most likely for the $$$$. The parti/off color breeders are doing just this all the while spouting their version of the history of the breed and basically telling you that the parent club(YTCA) is full of sh*t. Lets say that drop ears are now the big popular rage. You will then get irresponsible breeders breeding for that fault as well. Popularity=$$$. Simple economics.I guess you have to be a breed fancier to completely understand it. I am not saying you arent and I hope I explained this ok.
