Once the decision was made and the collected effort of the members of the BTCA was taken to have those dogs genetically tested, the battle was over. All the guess work was taken out and the members of the BTCA are now focusing on what is required of them in their breeding programs by AKC. It is as simple as that. We already presented our Biewer Terriers to the president of YTCA. He knows the battle is no longer ours but theirs. He stated openly these are not Yorkshire Terriers but a breed of thier own. We are done. We do not have to prove anything further.
BTCA is made up of 60 members and growing. Your club has what...3 or 4? Who do you think AKC is going to listen to? |
Our goal isn't getting into AKC first. Rather to understand the health and well being of the breed. Document the Biewers into several generations. Which we have been able to already acheive, with being the club that has the first true American bred Biewers. We have 3 American bred litters within our club. We will be working on our 4th generation in the very near future. It is time and this documentation that is important to us. One thing that you should know about the BAPPC is that we aren't selling into many breeding homes. We are taking our time in testing and developing our breed. Many of our offspring are placed with our members to work side by side, test and try and bring a better representation into the next generation. Breeders in our opinion are important.. true enough, but our members that represent our pet placement are like gold to our breeding programs. Without our pet homes, that help us document the litters in areas that the BAPPC feels important to the development of the breed, then why breed? There for if you feel this is heading down the wrong path, it is just a matter of your opinion.
