I imagine that most people are not interested in this, nor do they have the time.
The standard was set for a reason, just like the laws are set for a reason, we may not agree with them but they are what they are- we can go through steps to try and change them- but I doubt it is an easy thing to do.
With your extremly busy schedule that you posted for us, I don't know how you have the time to find all this stuff, and post about it. I am not 1/2 as busy as you and I seem to run out of time all the time... maybe you have a longer 24hrs a day than I do
(lol, to be taken lightly as it is an attempt at humor)
Your dogs are your dogs, you love them for who they are, as all of us do.... it really shouldn't matter if they are standard or not.
I do wonder if you want to breed your tiny, nonstandard yorkie for a higher price since they would be "tiny" and "rare" (as I have read you say about your yorkies, they are rare) no one here is going to come to your house and lecture you.... heck you don't even have to tell anyone.
It is your consious that you have to worry about, no one elses.
I really can't understand why all the topics that are, I guess you could say "hot buttons" and the reason I say that is because this forum is full of breeders who do their best to follow standards.... and all theses posts seem to be trying to get people to agree that maybe this isn't the right way, or in the best interest in the dog.
If there were no standards, eventually we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a yorkie, poodle, rotty, maltese ect... they are there for a reason, you don't have to like them or agree with them- but they are there and probably always going to be.
Do you realize that, people on one of your other threads, well it may not have been your thread, but one you were very active on... took their personal time to call their own vets (also taking up their time) to try and get answers FOR you, yes FOR you because most of us agree with the general posters on that subject... and you didn't bother to "thank them" well not that I read anyways... and now you want people to look up stuff and try and prove this person who wrote the article you quoted and find evidence to refute it? why would they? you can do this also.... people liked to be thanked for taking their time for you, at least acknowledged that you read it....
whew... off my soapbox, hopefully you find whatever it is you are looking for- I for one can not understand it all.
ps- I also wanted to thank the breeders that do their best to withhold the standard, without them, there would be no more yorkies.
pss- I also understand that even with the best breeding you can have yorkies that are born with different colors other than standard...
