Bylaws are set in place to protect the breed. When I used the term traditional in my post it was only intended to address a question that you ignored. You seem to be more concerned with being combative. Let me add. There is no such thing as a traditional yorkie. There is no such thing as a parti colored yorkie. These are terms made up by unethical breeders.
It's amazing (and frankly, a shame) how using certain adjectives, classifies a person as being an unethical breeder. We know it's improper to use the "T" word, or teddy bear and baby doll, now we are not allowed to use traditional and parti to describe our dogs?
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?
Are you a member of the YTCA? If so, you would know that it is a small group of people who set the standards ... I believe the YTCA has less than 600 members?
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.
No breeder is lying about the color ... our dogs are registered and listed as the color that they are. My parti's are registered as being black and tan PARTI and my golden is registered as "TAN." Feel free to click on my weblink below to view scanned copies of my AKC pedigrees.
Again, YTCA wrote the standards and that is what AKC has posted on the site. AKC is a breed registry not a coat color registry, or conformation registry ... that's what the show ring is for, to judge a dog based on what is considered to be the IDEAL look, per the clubs written standards.
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.[/QUOTE]
I think that you may be the one who doesn't know what they are talking about - please do a bit more research and get your facts straight.
If you check the YTCA's website, you will see that there have been changes in the standards. Example: "From 1877 to 1896 the classes provided for the breed were divided by weight. Classes were offered for Yorkshire Terriers over 5 lbs. or Yorkshire Terriers not exceeding 5 lbs." |
