I have no idea how Nikko's got her dogs to be a nice little chappie of White with a Black saddle on it's back, but believe they do fetch big dollars in the states, much more then her little traditionals.
I am quite aware of the UK KC site thanks, use it all the time here in the UK. It is a registry dear, not a breed club. They are open to deceipt and a pedigree of only as good as it's breeder.
To continually bully about books written in the 1800's by sporting men in the STOCK-KEEPER, Dalzel,Walsh nee Stonehenge, is futile as to your proving how a Tan Dog with a Blue Saddle, suddenly became after 140 years of breeding......... a White dog with a Black saddle. We do not have these dogs in the originating country, we do not cull our dogs or throw them off bridges. We have looked over our dogs for 140 years, proteced their ancestry and their statues as a pure bred dog. I believe we exported many a champion to the states, what happened in that country with AKC registerings, well we can see here on this Forum only too plainly. Why would a breeder dedicated to this breed, not wish to breed to the standards set out in the breed clubs conformation. Why are these white little dogs, advertised as Rare and sold for big dollars? I have a nice little cross bred rescue s**t-Tzu, but I wouldn't wish to breed her and try to pass her off as a pure bred.  |
Yes, it is a registry and not a club. When I bought my first Yorkies in 1984 and started learning more about the breed etc I was shocked to find that some breeders (not only Yorkie breeders) would have a litter of puppies and would register them with a different sire or dam that they owned because that one would have a better pedigree - more champions in the line. So, the registry is only as good as the breeders that register their dogs.
They advertise and sell them for big dollars because there are too many uneducated (as far as dogs go) people willing to buy them
BTW I am originally from the other side of the Pennines - Lancashire
