I have very much enjoyed reading these post, but we need to remember that all the breeds we know of to day come from mix breeding and line breeding. God did not put on earth a Yorkie, Maltese, ect. It was a wolf. They are all man put together long time ago. The original yorkie was to be 12-14 lbs. People look down to them today. I have a 7lb Yorkie and people don't think she is a Yorkie because they think 7lb is to big. So things has changed alot for the 1st wolf and man is who made up the Yorkie, Maltese, ect. that we love, so if they all come from mix breeding and line breeding what is wrong with bring out color in them. I don't have one, but I do think they are very pretty. I think show breeders don't want them in the ring because they don't want to go by agaist one. Very pretty dogs. But if you go back and look at the 1st yorkies, all the show yorkie is not at the standard that they was. You don't see a 12 -14 lb Yorkie winning a show!! Breeds are going to change looks over the years, that is just a fact. (the only thing I don't understand is why in other Countries they can make up new breeds and everyone loves them, but here in the US you are talked down to if you mess with the standard) just a thought. |
