Do they have proof that there isn't partis.
Do the pedigrees lie? |
I'll refer back to what I said earlier:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Even if Parti fanciers could prove that Paris are indeed pure bred Yorkies, that shouldn't be assumed to be a great leap forward into the ring.
Take the flop eared Yorkie, for example. No one would deny that they are pure Yorkies, but no one would put them in the ring, either. Funny thing is, there WERE flop eared Yorkies in the ring at one time. A great many early Yorkies had their ears cropped and were not naturally pricked. With the outlawing of ear cropping, those dogs instantly had no place in the ring, due to the breed standard.
So there is a history of dogs once allowed in the ring to no longer be. I'm certain those dogs owners had more of a case than Parti breeders but they had to yield for the betterment of the breed."

The point being....so what if it's a Yorkie? It still has no place in the ring, just as the other off-standard variations don't.
