If Parti color was allowed and Partis were repeatedly bred to blue/tan yorkies then eventually we would lose the blue/tan yorkies...A parti bred to a parti produces ALL partis...Sooner or later all yorkies would carry the parti gene...Allowing this to happen would not be protecting the Yorkshire Terrier as a breed...
I am sure that the members of the YTCA are trying to protect the Yorkshire Terrier from this happening...
And as far as Mary & Pat not being the only YTCA member to make rules...The YTCA is a democracy and the majority rules...I think the majority has made a huge statement the last time the standard was voted on! All grown up I believe! |
I do not understand why you think this will happen. Other breeds that have more than one color category are able to keep them separated.
There will still be lines that are kept pure traditional.
In fact, they might find that the oarti breeders are more respectfl of the traditional colors lines if they were allowed in the ring to compete against other partis.
The parti breeders would be more focsed on keeping their own colors right just as the traditonal breeders are.
