Nobody seems to want to answer that...but they sure do keep beating that dead horse.
Besides...you can't just wipe out a recessive color that has been in the breed for years. If the serious breeders of the color give up and quit...you will still have as many parti's being born...but they will be horrible quality.
But wait..that is exactly what the YTCA and their members want. It's ok if pet parti's are bred by the hundreds..as long as they don't affect the show world. They can be pets...but heaven forbid you want to take one in the ring. Then it becomes personal. LOL
The parti is here whether everyone like's it not. Why can't those who want to better it and show it be allowed too? If a variety class is allowed...soon...just like with the color varieties in the cocker spaniel...reputable breeders will breed parti to parti, and keep the show lines of each separate for the most part. And those in the show world know this to be true. They just will not admit it. |
You are right about one thing, parti colors are being bred by the hundreds thanks to the fact that there's a sucker born every minute that will pay inflated prices for them. If YTCA could put a stop to the mass production of the parti colors they certainly would but you know as well as I do that AKC LOVES the income you generate registering your dogs. They don't even care that a good portion of them are F1 generation mutts. BUT YTCA can and will prevent you from every showing them in an AKC show and I believe that UKC is following their lead on the DQ.
