These are terms made up by unethical breeders.
I've posted the color requirements from the akc on here. You want to be treated equal just b/c a small group of people think something is okay to do?
People that buy these puppies should know the truth. People should not support breeders that are lying about a registration! I mean, what kind of breeder lies about the color they are breeding then registers it? Here it is in black and white from the akc.
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: Blue: Is a dark steel-blue, not a silver-blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. Tan: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
Color on Body
The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail.
Headfall
A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not extend down on back of neck.
Chest and Legs
A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.
Weight
Must not exceed seven pounds.
Disqualifications:
Any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan as described above. Any white markings other than a small white spot on the forechest that does not exceed 1 inch at its longest dimension.
You will never be accepted in YTCA with a vagrants. Since when did YTCA allow a new standard because a member wanted one? You do not know what you are talking about. You aren't allowed membership so you bash the club? That should explain things about your intent about the breeds future. How much did you spend on research last year? You bad mouth the breed club yet you use it for marketing purposes by saying "some have a CH in their pedigree". I've read these posts, you say that MOST show homes are more concerned with finding the perfect show dog over health. They go hand in hand. Health is part of goal. |
As Pinehaven has posted before. The AKC is a BREED registry, not a COLOR registry.
This parti gene is a natural part of the Yorkshire Terrier. They are 100% yorkshire terriers. I totally agee that there are some mixes out there that are being passed off as partis, but I am not responsible for that..
The YTCA sets the standard for showing, NOT THE AKC. Just because the YTCA has decided that FOR JUDGING PURPOSES they do not want the parti color, does not mean that they are not yorkies.
The YTCA has also set a size standard 7 pounds and under, yet show breeders will breed the bigger girls if they are right in every other aspect.
Now they know, when they do this, and they show the puppies of this breeding, and even get them to Champions, that those "champions" have the genetic potential to produce WRONG SIZED puppies. Wrong size/wrong color. What is the difference, they are both wrong according to the YTCA.
Some even dye the coats and do other cosmetic "enhancements" to win the championship. They believe it is OK to do this as long as the dog is within the standard in ever other aspect.
So why is it different for the parti color. The parti color came about by breeding two traditional colored, parti gene carrying, dogs together. Champion dogs at that.
If we dyed our dogs so they were allowed in the ring, would that make everyone feel better.
The show dog breeders continued to breed the dogs that were producing the parti colored puppies. So if they are not yorkies, what are they.
The word "traditional" refers to the color, not the breed. The word "parti" refers to the color, not the breed. Shall we just say blue/tan and tri colored to distinquish the difference.
The YTCA set a standard for showing and judging. They did not establish the BREED they just set the standards for judging purposes. That is why some show breeders dye their dogs to make them comply with show standards, so they can show them.
As for the YTCA changing the standards, they have changed it in the past. I no doubt will happen again. NEVER say NEVER.e
And where ar WE lying about something on the registratilon papers?
