Do you really think you would prevail? I think not and, IMO, the YTCA has already gone too far in calling the Parti merely a DQ. They should probably have said something like there is not enough evidence to establish the Parti as a pure bred Yorkie at this time.
What's really disturbing is the intention to deliberately put carriers in the ring. This does nothing to better the breed but only serves to corrupt the breed. It's an end-around the DQ.
Maybe the YTCA should make it a DQ for any dog with a Parti in its pedigree. With your stated intentions, which is probably shared by at least some others, the breed is in need of further protection. |
Isnt that all that the Yorkshire Terrier has is DNA for parentage? Do they have other tests to prove that they are indeed Yorkies? Their historical facts aren't so cut and dry on the yorkie.
Do they have proof that there isn't partis.
Do the pedigrees lie?
