Just because the Parti breeders don't breed for the Standard color of the Yorkshire Terrier Does not make them unethical.
If you accuse someone of being unethical, it is equivalent of calling them unprofessional and may well be taken as a significant insult and perceived more personally than if you called them immoral.
I am not a member of the YTCA and have not signed any papers associated with them, so I do not adhere to their constitution or code of ethics/conduct for said CLUB.
Don't you believe you are acting unethical by calling others that, when you have no idea about them?
It really isnt moral or ethical for some of you to come on a thread about partis when you have none and spout about how unethical we really are.
Beware of transgressing the other person's morals, as this is particularly how they will judge you. |
Where else but on a dog forum should we judge breeding ethics? I'm not judging you as a person; I am judging you as yorkie breeder. I encourage everyone to judge for themselves, but its not that easy to get people to understand WHY it's important to support those who are breeding for one purpose only and that's to improve the breed. To suggest that only people who breed or own Parti's should reply to Parti threads leads to a pretty one sided argument. I understand that I will never change the Parti breeders minds, but I hope I can influence new people, and try to get them to understand why breeding to standard is so important for the "future" of the Yorkshire terrier. I personally believe that any breeder who breeds a fault and markets it as an "asset" is an unethical breeder.
