While I understand your love for the color and the dogs I hope you understand where a show breeder can disagree with you because we do follow the standard ( at least I would hope ) and try to discourage breeding for what is not called for in the standard and breed as close to the best representation to what the breed standard calls for. I truly do understand the love for the yorkie and at times discussions can become heated so I try to handle myself in the most civilized possible way
Again, thanks for being civil with me in what I know has been a very heated discussion While I disagree with breeding outside the standard I can't change minds when one is set

Yes I understad, but stadards have changed over the years, and I'm sure, not without a great deal of poopsition toward those who have pushed for it to change. and it will change again. Nothing ever changes without opposition.
I can see you are a very well settled happy person. People who are intelligent enough to know which things can be changed and which thngs cannot, and don't waste their time trying to change the things that cannot be changed, are happy people.
As for me, I know I will never change these people mind, I just love a good debate with intelligent people who keep me challenged.
