I have seen with my own eyes how the parti gene was introduced. I knew a breeder that had an oops litter. She admitted it. Said they would still make nice pets. She still registered them with AkC. She had multiple breeds, by the way. They were parti colored Yorkie mixes. All registered as pure AkC puppies. Made me wonder if the sire or dam were also mixes. She had been breeding this way for 30 years. There was no such thing as Dna and falsifying registration papers was easy. She even had one champion girl. Seemed like she bred that bitch for 12 years by her adds in the paper. She doesnt sound very ethical, does she.
This is only one breeder in one state. Breeders like her were a dime a dozen back in the 70;s and 80;s..
Now, I have looked at your parti pedigrees. One top line will have Ch Nikko about 3 generations back. All the rest are from pet breeders. How do you know what these pet breeders were breeding? I am sure you dont know everyone that bred these generations of dogs. How do you know that they were not just like the lady I knew?
Can you see now why the YTCA is concerned? |
I'm sorry to hear that you knew someone personally with those types of ethics.. I daresay there are those types of breeders breeding EVERY color of Yorkie, not just the Parti and the pedigrees are every bit as bad.. such a shame.
Now, do you mean you looked at MY parti pedigree or "Our" collective parti pedigrees??? I know in my case.. I DO know the "PET" breeders that bred to these top lines.. I have Nikko's lines three generations back, Kokopelli, two generations back and all the pet lines in between are personal friends of mine who have been breeding for 30 years and I know the parents, the grandparents, the siblings, the kennels, the health and the history.. so YES, I would say I am extremely confident that what I have is pure. (just for the record, I DNA both parents and all puppies I keep.)
I, like you I'm sure.. have to much time, energy and emotion invested into my dogs to fool around with something that is not of the best quality I can possibly get...Now I might ask, Do you know all of the pet breeders on your dogs pedigrees as well?
