Lol, I know many years ago before the government required all children to have social security numbers, there was a lady that claimed her dogs as dependents. I also know of breeders that would get extra puppy registration papers and use those papers to register dogs they bought that did not have papers. There have always been cheaters around.
If the YTCA changed the standard to allow parti yorkies then what about all the other coat colors? I have seen some beautiful black yorkies but does that mean they should be allowed in the show ring? I just prefer to leave the standard the way it is. Just my opinion. |
Sure Why not, if they meet the standard in every other way.
It is our general nature to resist change. Thank Gold for the pioneers who weren't afraid to go against the grain or we'd still be fusng buggy whips.
If the parti breeders work hard enough to get the partis up to standard, except for color, why souldn't they be included.
The YTCA knows it is going to happen and that is why they DQ'd the color.
