There are good and bad breeders in every breed of dogs and in every color of yorkie. You have to ask questions until you are comfortable that the breeder is breeding healthy dogs and that they will stand behind their dogs if a genetic problem does arrise.
Why this constant interrogation of the parti breeders. We have been through the entire list of why partis should not be bred, and none of the reasons have been valid reasons to not breed this color of yorkie.
so what is the real reason for badgering a particular group of breeders whom you know nothing about for breeding a particular color of dog that has no known health issues that are related to their coloring.
People that are this obeseed with something, have very personal reasons for being that way.
so now that we have dispelled all the concerns over the health of these dogs. What are your real reasons for your obsessions?
we have heard,
"they don't look like yorkies"
Why do you care, if you don't like the looks, then don't buy them
"they YTCA has disqualifed them"
We don't care. Our purpose at this time is not for showing
"They have health issues"
Where (other than the YTCA website) is it said that they have health issues
"they might be deaf"
that has yet to be proven
"you're ruining the breed"
we don't see it that way, we believe the YTCA is wrong for not allowing what is as natural part of the yorkie makeup.
"The parti color is not a part of the yorkie make up"
The AKC says it is
"you need to have the Mars wisdom panel done to prove they are yorkies'
Why? all parties involved agree that they are yorkies so there is no need to prove it.
the list goes on.
What it all boils down to is that we should not do it because a few of you don't like it
Well for your own sakes, Let it go. |
I asked a fair question, and think I deserve a fair answer. I'm often asked for advice on questions a person should ask a breeder. I thought the parti breeders might have insight on the questions a person should ask a parti breeder. I hope some of you others choose to reply; this is a legitimate question.
