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. |
Jen, I know you have a good heart and some parti breeders have a good heart and have dogs they love and care for but being a person that breeds and shows to the standard I stand behind the standard and the YTCA. Until that changes I won't stand down my convictions. As it stands now the YTCA is not and will not now or in the future allow for a variation. If I understand it correctly AKC isn't allowing anymore variations added to a breed in the show ring. I could be wrong but I think I read that somewhere on AKC.
