Since the beginning, the Yorkshire Terrier has always been a blue and tan dog and today is a blue and tan dog. No amount of wordplay will change that. If parti breeders were accomodated, what's next? Do we breed for flop eared dogs? Teapots? Wiry coats? Roach backs? Why not? The logic for doing so is the same as yours. Try applying that logic for all these traits and see what you come up with. It sure won't be a Yorkshire terrier, I can tell you that.
I can't understand why someone would want to breed for a fault and then have the audacity to demand they be given the same status as correct dogs in the show ring. It makes one wonder if the term 'pure bred' is really understood. |
I find this quite odd you would post something like this when you used breed wolf hybrids. Didn't you use a dog to accomplish this? What breed of dog did you use to breed to your hybrids? Whatever breed it was I am sure the parent club of it wasn't too happy about it.
