I understand what your saying.. but really.. if she was doing this with her Partis.. what was she doing with her Yorkies? Were they pure yorkies either?? Most likely all of her lines were compromised but I'm not sure any of us can be responsible for what really bad breeders did in the 60's and 70's.. I'm certainly not going to take that on.
The AKC has a system in place, it is called a Pedigree.. we either live by the pedigrees or we die by them.. it's the same for everyone.. I can question, you can question.. but at the end of the day that is the system that was used and is still used. The Parti's were tested.. found to be yorkies.. those are the facts that we are given, that is what the pedigrees AND the DNA tell us.. I'm sorry it is not what many of you want to hear, but as far as we know.. those are the facts.
I did not lie or cheat, steal, rape or pillage.. according to the AKC, we have yorkies and it is ONLY the YTCA that says they are not.. really.. they are only a club... powerful yes.. but only a club made up of people, stuck in their ways with much to lose and little to gain if there is change.. I get that .. I understand.. but I can't help that.. change will come eventually.. duck and weave if you must or embrace it.. your choice.
