Speaking down to the members of this forum as though we are uneducated peons does not help resolve problems. You would achieve a lot more if you just answered the question instead.
You are right that the BTCA believes that this breed is separate from the Yorkie but we are all in agreement that it did evolve from the Yorkie and is now a close cousin to the Yorkie.
A simple email from Mars to someone cannot replace the hours of teleconferencing that has actually taken place between Mars and the BTCA and all of the scientific paperwork and research papers we have received from them. We are not talking about the simple test you send in from your vet. By keeping an open mind far more will be achieved. We can see that some are starting to get what the BTCA has been saying and are dropping the Yorkshire Terrier from their dogs and club names.
