I feel the need to express my feelings on this topic. As someone who has always protected the yorkshire terrier breed to the AKC standard I am appalled by some of the comments on this thread. Before you even ask yes I have shown and yes I have bred.
First off just because someone is a member of the YTCA does not make them a reputable moral person, let alone a reputable moral breeder! I can state this because I know this for a fact!
Secondly how many of the members of the YTCA have dyed the coat on a yorkshire terrier they have shown in a conformation match? My answer would be many of the YTCA members have dyed coat. Why would they dye a coat?
BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD OF WHAT THE COLOR OF THE COAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE! Maybe you should worry more about the members of the YTCA that do not follow the standard instead of bashing the people who are not members of the YTCA.
Just because some of you are members of the YTCA it does not make you God! Last I remember AKC recognizes the Parti Color of the yorkshire terrier.
