I haven't picked apart not one Parti breeder as I do not know any parti breeder personally. Only Parti breeder I semi know is TammyJM and I've never met her nor do I know her breeding practices but I do know she loves her dogs and would do anything for them and they are just as important to her as my yorkies are it's just we disagree on the the breeding of Parti's vs. the standard.
No ONE will produce the perfect specimen as there is NO perfect dog in this world, we can only go as close as we can.

Thanks Donna
You and I have always been able to disagree but then once it's out there, we are fine with each other. I do wish that some could/would see how the words that they are putting out there are hurtful and makes it tough to get past. Maybe that doesn't matter to some, but to me, I like 99.99% of YT members and wish there were ways to communicate without throwing out such broad statements that lump people. You and I have been able to remain friends because you do not get personal and you know that I respect your love for the Yorkie standard. I happen to ADORE the tri-color, but does not mean that I am a bad breeder...not anymore than it makes a person that follows the standard a great breeder. We all know this...at least we should.
I know that there are people within this thread that do not breed the standard 100% of the time...I will not name names...I like and respect these people. But can we please agree that one picking and choosing what rules they will follow are no better/worse than those of that breed the parti....no matter how you justify it! Do not preach at us for not following the standard if you are not willing to follow your own words, each and every breeding. I do not care why you say that you do it....I am tired of reading that they are doing it to enhance the color (or whatever reason is being used). You are still breeding an off-color yourself. Heck, I could say..."I am breeding my Livi to pass on her dead-on perfect topline". I am still breeding an off-color, right?? So why do you, the ones that are saying that we are wrong, get to state your reasons for breeding the colors that you want, but we are the ones that are attacked??
Oh, and yes....Donna, I am insanely nutty about my fur kids. You understand this love, though.
