I personally don't think the AKC has the final say in what a breed club will recognize as one of their own. They have a vested interest in registrations (revenue) and have been shown in the past to not be beyond reproach. I don't know what went on between the AKC and YTCA at that time, but I'm sure there were discussions. The results are pretty clear, though. |
You can bet that if someone with enough clout approached the AKC about getting the parti included in the show ring. The YTCA would either have to do it or lose their standing with the AKC.
The YTCA is the parent club of the yorkie, but the AKC has power over the YTCA. they say which clubs they will recognize.
