I have to laugh. As a 'newbie' on these boards, but not new to foruming, I was shocked, prior to reading this thread, at how nice everyone was to each other and how no one seemed to disregard and/or put down others dog just because they weren't their 'type' - I saw Biewer, Yorkie and Parti owners all being so polite and so non judgemental to others dogs. I saw people post their Yorkie mixes and get welcomed here no less then someone with a purebred. I had never seen a forum where everyone just 'got along'....
Then I saw this post. I don't see what the issue is.... some people are headstrong in standard Yorkies, and that is great... Others are into Biewers, and that is great.... Othe people prefer Partis... and that is great. But what I don't get is why it matters what other people are into... if you are a standard yorkie breeder and don't think Partis should be purpousely bred for... then don't. Other people disagree. I personally don't think either person can be 'right' as it is overall a matter of preference. I don't think ANYONE will argue that they are all beautiful.
I think that if Parti owners like the look and want to breed for it purposefully, that is fine, but instead of changing the breed standard, I think it should be like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and have multiple avenues for colors(traditional, parti, and Biewer).
This is all my opinion - I am not trying to get into this argument as I do not really know enough yet (although I am learning) |
