Thank you very much. I too hope that someday they get to take their place in the sun. The colors are just striking in the sun too

I register my dogs with the AKC. I breed ethically and health test all of my dogs. They live in my home and I stand behind each and every one of my babies. I have people who purchased babies from me 10 years ago come and visit at least yearly. Most of my babies are homed through word of mouth.I have had health issues and each time it spurs up I do spay and neuter and find suitable pet homes for free. I educate people on the breed and its health issues. My adults go to nursing homes to visit the elderly and to special education events in schools for handicapped children. I have placed pups for free with special needs kids and am proud of my dogs in the real public.
However, because I chose to accept and even breed a healthy particolored Yorkie I would not be allowed in certain parent clubs if I wanted to join. Same as my parti dog...healthy and tested to be healthy...but cannot be shown. Yet an unhealthy standard colored one can. That needs to change not only with Yorkies but ALL SHOW DOGS.
Time brings change and change is inevitable.
