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 loose 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.

I dont know what she was doing except selling pets. This was waaaaay back in the dark ages when I first got interested in the breed. I didnt know jack.
You can live and die by any pedigree but if the breeding behind them are falsifyed, they are no better than a piece of TP. DnA only tells you parentage. It can NEVER, at this time, tell you if a dog is a purebred. The dogs I am referring to are the dogs that were already dead at the time of the AKC investigation. Who were those breeders and what were they breeding? They could have been just like the lady I knew: multiple breeds and oops breedings that were registered with AkC as purebred Yorkies.
I am glad you feel so confident in your pedigrees. But I dont think you know who the breeders of your dogs were back in the 70's and 80's.
