It just seems to me that this forum is for those people who believe that the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier standard is the authentic and correct standard and do not believe that the standard set by Gayle Pruett is the true standard. I don't have a vested interest either way but I do think it is a great thing that this forum exist. After all, I'm sure that Ms. Pruett has her own forum and I somehow doubt that hers is unbiased based on what I now know about her (is she really a vet?). I also believe that the YorkieTalk folks would appreciate that the whole discussion regarding the Biewer Yorkshire Terriers vs. Biewer Terriers vs. Parti colored Yorkiets, etc. be discussed in an independent forum. I have Yorkshire Terriers, so as previously stated, I don't have a vested interest but I would appreciate a forum for the Biewer Yorkshire Terrer if I owned one! |
It's not the forum that I was speaking about that had biased information but the Facebook page.. the forum is a very recent forum that was just started and your right, it was not started by Ms Pruett but it looks like it was created by a member of another club ..
There are already at least two other biewer forums for people who are interested in talking about their biewers so there is no lack of places for us to yack about our pups .. I disagree however, that YT people would like the discussion of Biewers, Parti's etc moved to another venue.. after all.. we're all yorkies and this is a yorkie forum.. if one isn't interested in learning or contributing, one doesn't have to read, post or contribute to threads discussing "yorkies of a diffrent color".
Most of us started our fascination with the Biewers and/or the Parti's because of our love of the traditionally colored yorkies and I believe there are many others who have come to love these wonderful little souls DIRECTLY due to the exposure they get here on YT.. so, my hope is.. ALL yorkies will continue to be discussed on YT, as well on any other forums that pop up.. the more the merrier..It's just when ones opinion is stated as fact, it doesn't get things started on the right foot.
