How is adding color destroying the breed? Is there any other difference between them? Sorry I haven't read the whole thread so maybe I am missing some huge contrast between the two if I am please let me know as I find this debate confusing.
Are you saying that if you saw two yorkies in the ring with the same quality coat, topline, ear set, etc, the only difference being that one is blue and tan and the other is a parti yorkie, the parti yorkie is destroying the breed because simply of color?
Why are so many afraid of change? If it weren't for change the yorkie would still be a much larger dog with a wiry coat. I sure am glad they had the courage and determination to change the yorkie that made it what it is today.
I really don't see the big deal in adding color. No one is asking to change all yorkies into partis, just to add a color variation class to the existing blue and tan.
Why I sure don't see the cocker spaniel breed ruined or being tainted by adding color variations. So what makes the color of the yorkie so different?
Shouldn't we be more worried about the concerning health problems in the breed and concentrate our efforts on that?
I see it as it is only a matter of time before the parti yorkie is accepted in the show ring. Granted it might not be in the next 10 years or who really knows but it is bound to happen. Parti's aren't going away and why should they?
