Adding a variety class for the parti will not change the original standard of the breed one bit. They would not even show in the same ring until group. I just do not understand the rampant fear and bigotry the YTCA and it's members have concerning the parti being allowed a variety class. Especially after all the evidence that the color has been in the breed for years and years now. If Joan Gordon had parti's show up in her lines...that just about kills the notion the YTCA holds that the color is the result of a designer or mixed breed.
Unless Joan owned Shih Tzu's too.  |
I would interested to read responses to your question too, bc I've never quite understood that reasoning either.
I do understand the traditional color yorkie breeder wanting to preserve the traditional colors but don't see how allowing parti yorkies to be shown AKC would be detrimental to them? Has that been true with other breeds and class variations?
Donna, I don't agree that all who breed parti yorkies do so just to supply a pet market bc they can't show. To know that for some, you would have to know the individual and what is behind their heart. Perhaps they breed partis for the very same reason you are in love with yorkies and continue to strive for a better yorkie, in their case a better parti color yorkie.
