If that's what it takes for AKC acceptance, to lie about what these dogs are, pretend that they are not pure bred Yorkies.. pretend that there were other breeds introduced to make them something they are not..that is to high a price to pay.
Why not start to police your ranks, remove those who are using splitters and do what is necessary to become an AKC breed? Because at present, to do what is necessary would be to say you are a seperate breed made up of other breeds.. these dogs are not mixed breed dogs.. To prostitute oneself enough to say something like that JUST to gain acceptance into AKC or to have the YTCA stand behind them in hopes of knocking the Parti colored Yorkie from it's rightful place is just criminal.. now to me.. that's far more unethical than anything else stated in this thread to present.
The Biewers bred NOTHING but Yorkies.. they did not breed any other "white" dogs that got loose in the hen house.. I have spoken personally to many German breeders..also to a person who knows Mrs. Biewer and knew her husbands breeding practices.. there were NO "oops" breedings that created these dogs.. they came directly from two traditionally colored Yorkies.
If the Biewer breeders unite and succeed in becoming recognized it will ensure that there will never be a place for parti color yorkies. Biewers will become the white spotted yorkie type dog shown at AKC shows and you will be considered a legitimate breed. | You are sooo afraid of the Parti's that you stand blindly behind a breed you know nothing about.. if it wasn't so dreadfully sad it would almost be funny.
If the Biewer gets AKC acceptance one day, it should be because they deserve it.. and not by the back door just to keep out the Parti Colored Yorkie.. they are one in the same dog.. only one has a bit of an accent and drinks better beer!
