Then I would spay/neuter both the male and female and start over because I do not want to produce something that is going to not be the best representation of the breed and that is to produce off colored yorkies. Culling is a word to kill and it use to be done many years ago and maybe still done today but I don't see it or hear of it being done anymore because how could someone kill a poor defenseless baby? That is horrifing!!!
Puppylove....the YTCA close minded?? No, we are upholding the standard as written and will stand behind our standard. Sorry but that's not being close minded but upholding our breed and standing behind our convictions!!! Again, I'll say you need to get over it and move on and saying this in the most polite way as possible with a smile on my face

I do show and I do have friends who are members of the ytca, I personally chose not to be a member. I do know for a fact not all ytca members do liver shunt testing on their yorkshire terriers, do not OFA certify them, or do not do any blood testing of any kind! To me there is more to the standard than just a pretty yorkie with a nice conformation! Just because a yorkie meets the standard by their coloring and conformation it does not mean they are a healthy example of the breed. I do personally know of ytca members who are not reputable or have no morals, but yet they have say in what happens with this breed. I know of more parti breeders and biewers breeders who do the proper testing before they ever breed a litter of puppies or walk into a show ring with their show prospect! So closed minded yes!
