Since you are an English Major, and you seem to have some free time, maybe you'd like to write the article for us (Just Kidding)
That's good to hear. From looking at what parti breeders (of other breeds) do, it seems to be a manageable problem, so long as a breeder is mindful of it. I was never trying to be an alarmist, only posting some info, which some seemed to resent, distort and dismiss. I'm sure you'll do fine with your article. There's plenty of good research (albeit not specific to the Parti Yorkie) already done to draw from.
