This has been a very nice thread.. although it has strayed from the original post a bit. I don't believe the minds of those of us who already firmly believe one way or the other on this issue will ever change.. however, there has been some good information presented to help those sitting on the fence to at least understand both sides of the issue.
I believe if you want excellent yorkies to bring into your Parti lines, there are wonderful breeders who will sell them to you.. I have been approached on many occassions for my Biewers from VERY reputable yorkie breeders who are
extremely interested in the color variations of the Yorkie. I think we only hear from a very small community on this forum, but there is a vast group of YTCA members who are either thinking seriously about "Joining the Parti" or have already "crashed it" ...
I understand wanting to cover your eyes and hope these "spots" go away; but I don't think that's going to be the case. We are going to show where we can.. we are going to breed the BEST dogs we can using the Yorkie standard in every way but color.
We are yorkie breeders and we put every bit as much of our heart and soul into our programs as any other good, ethical yorkie breeder does. We set goals, we make sacrifices, we work hard. Many of us have earned respect from our peers .. it may just take a bit longer to earn respect from the rest of you... but we'll get there too.. it's one of the goals.
