Partis could never have been a new breed because they are yorkies. They have always been around, but years ago they destroyed them, or gave them away and denied that they existed. |
If there's no difference, it's not impossible. partis COULD be recognized as a new breed whether or not they are purebred Yorkie from the beginning. Breed type has changed.
Look at Donna's example.
Difficult? Absolutely!
But well worth the effort to have a chance at obtaining full recognition and open the door to improve the breed....if that really IS what partis want.
With the testimony of members, I don't
ever see the YTCA giving in to partis in this lifetime, whether or not they're going away...that's not the issue anyway. But if they truly believe the parti is not fit for the Yorkie standard, the AKC may listen and be willing to accept a new standard.
Seems like the YTCA has made clear it is a dead-end for partis, but that may not be the only way for partis to get their cute lil’ butts fully recognized and showin’
Seems like the Biewers are making progress...
If you work toward a parti standard, you won’t have to change the Yorkie standard and make many passionate breeders feel you’ve destroyed their lovely breed, but still have recognition and qualification to show. Like I said before, there will be many more reputable breeders jumping on the band wagon to better the breed if partis quit driving against the standard. Seems like a more attainablegoal to me...in the favor of partis.
just saying...
