Floppy ears have been there too, should we start breeding for it because they are cute? I happen to love floppy ears, but I would not support a breeder who bred for them. I think a breeder should find a breed they love, and breed for a great representative of it, I don't think they should try to change standard. Yes, the YTCA is the mother club, and they are there to protect the club standard, if no one did that, the yorkie wouldn't have any identity. Don't you try to choose other qualities of standard that you think are important, If you can see that breeding other qualities of standard is important, than you could see why breeding all qualities of standard is important. If you don't think breeding any qualities of standard is important, than I wonder why you choose a particular breed to breed? For me, it really is an all or nothing thing, you can't just pick and choose the qualities you like. Some breeders love curly haired yorkies, do you think they should breed them even if they love the look? I realize it's a free country, and people can do what they want, but I don't think this is really protecting the breed. So they may be a wonderful person, but they are not a good breeder in my opinion. |
So you have your opinion....those of us that breed the parti are, in your words, "not a good breeder". What I find so ironic is the fact that you seem do your research and like to learn, but yet are so close-minded on this. You have written about the studies that you have done about genetics but again, close-minded on the parti.
I am a GREAT breeder....one that just happens to love the tri-color Yorkie. I go back to what I have said in the past. The standard was created by a group of people that wanted the Yorkie to look they way that they preferred. If they had said that the parti was acceptable, you would then say it was okay. But since this particular group decided that they like a steel blue and tan, straight haired, toy sized Yorkie....all of a sudden, we are suppose to forget about how the Yorkie began. Why is that the YTCA gets to say what
they prefer, but those of us that love the parti are wrong. Double standard, indeed!
