Evab, you have posted links to the same books written in the 1800's and early 1900's on your anti parti site, that you now say I'm "bullying" by referencing to them in my own post? So which is it, do you want people to read these books or do you not want people to read them? Why post the links on your site, if you are going to discount and discredit what they say here?
You say that your countrymen didn't cull dogs or throw dogs/pups off bridges (drowning them), but the same books you've posted, say differently. Doing a quick word search on 3 of the 4 book links on your site, it brought up 7 references to destroying or drowning pups, some based on being an incorrect color.
I also think it's interesting that the KC kennel club, registers steel blue dogs with no tan or gold markings ... dogs this color, would be an automatic DQ in the YTCA's eyes, since they are solid colored and
lack a saddle. More often than not, solid blue yorkies have health risks associated with their color if they are blue born and this color should be highly discouraged and not promoted.
Science and a better understanding of how recessive genes work, has changed since the 1800's when the YT standard was written. If the early genes from the foundation dogs, were still not being passed on in today's dogs, then we'd never see black and gold adults or "solid" steel blue yorkies but these colors still appear today (just like parti, gold and chocolate colors do).
