I am a team player, but I don't always play by the rules.
I do not agree with the guidlines set down by the YTCA so therefore I went "elsewhere". I see no reason for disqualifying a dog because of it's color and don't need affirmation from the YTCA to tell me that I'm doing a good job.
I do not see that breeding off colored yorkies makes me or anyone else a bad person. I don't know what the YTCA is afraid of.
You and I have totally different opinions of what constitutes a reputable breeder. and I don't give a rats behind if you think I fit into that category or not.
I am in good company as there are a lot of fine fine breeders that do not care what the YTCA thinks. The YTCA did not create the Yorkshire Terrier, they do not own the breed. And they are wrong and foolish for disqualifying these beautiful colors that are a natural part of the Yorkshire Terrier makeup.
The statment has been posted twice, (once by someone who has had no knowledge of any of us) about the parti colors showing up in the Wildweir kennels, and the fact they kept it a secret, yet you refuse to believe it, and refuse to believe it, and mock me when I suggest that the reason no breeder admitted it is because they feared their reputations as breeders would be ruined.
I guess that makes you a better person and a more reputable breeder than Joan Gordon. |
Actually, its the YTCA that could give a rats a** about the parti breeders. And they are definately not afraid of the colorful yorkshire terrier club and its band of parti breeders either. I never said that being a parti breeder made you a bad person, I just dont agree with your ethics as a responsible yorkei breeder.
And for your information, Joan Gordon was actually on the committee that got the color DQ passed, says that there is no recessive gene for spotting and has also written a booklet on that subject, available on the YTCA site. She has also written an extensive history of the breed.
I am sure that you parti breeders assume that YTCA has a gun to her head as well.lol I doubt very much if she did that big a flip-flop on the issue.
