They were genetically tested. Most of the reputable breeders of Yorkshire Terriers in my circle have never had a parti yorki in all the years they have bred Yorkshire Terriers. I was told that if they did, the pedigree was compromised. And what does that prove other than those people never had a parti yorkie in their line. It does not prove that they were not in other lines. It tells me they were very careful in who they purchased their Yorkshires from. The next step is to solicit AKC to genetically test the parti yorki’s. We can already see where Biewers are being mixed in with them and we already know of some forged papers taking place. This is a caution to all those out there breeding parti yorki’s, make sure your lines are pure. We are going to work side by side with YTCA to get this straightened out, once and for all. Good Luck But if you are insisting that the Biewer is mixed with something else, why would the YTCA even care. Because Carl Yocuum and the members of the YTCA do not believe them to be as such. In other words, their hands were forced by AKC. The BTCA is not fighting you, you are resisting us. We, the BTCA, as the breed club will prove once and for all the Biewer Terrier to be a separate breed. You're talking in circles, you keep jumping back and forth, you say they are yorkies and you can prove it, then they aren 't yorkies and you can prove that. Again, you like to insult your posters. I am not talking in circles. When I purchased “supposed Biewer Terriers a la pom pons, they were not what a breeder would expect them to be. Common knowledge of the breed dictated. It took genetic testing, not pedigrees, to prove the Biewer was not a pure Yorkshire Terrier. I don’t care if this takes 10 years for AKC to finally say, oh yes, we will bring you into our FSS program. By then, AKC will be vanished for their mismanagement of record keeping. Then i guess this is all a moot point isn't it? No because they will be knocking at our door unfortunately and we will have to address it then. All Biewer Terriers sold as breeders (Dams and Sires) are DNA tested and held by BTRA the main registry for Biewer Terriers. Almost 500 Biewer Terriers are registered. What does that tell you? What does any of this have to do with the partis? Again, what part are you not as a breeder understanding? Proof comes from two breeding pairs, not just the males. What a strong statement that would have made for the parti yorkies. I invite all those who want to learn more about the history of the Biewer Terrier and how it was discovered to go on the Biewer Terrier Club of America website or visit the Biewer Forum. Yes, it does get heated, but we, as you parti breeders and Biewer a la pom pons are passionate about our breed. One more thing that I find very interesting…the standard set for the parti yorki. Hum…where did that come from? Do a comparison with the Biewer Terrier. It gets very interesting. Do you breeders know what you are breeding? I don’t think so. We are already on 5 generation of breeding the Biewer Terrier. The parti is way beyond 5 generations.. and what does the standard of the parti have to do with the standard of the Biewer if they are, as you claim, two different breeds? It looks to have incorporated the standard of the Biewer, interesting? Not sure what this post was all about, it went off in 6 different directions.
