Thank God the voice of reason.
I tried to post earlier but I somehow erased my post
Here it is again.
The Yorkshire Terrier faces serious challenges today. Health issues are of deep concern. Where is the registry for LS dogs for example. How close are we to identifying the gene and or genes responsible for LS?
Bybers, and Puppy Mills are churning out so very bad representatives of the breed, and never a genetic test done. God help us.
The breed clubs has an overwhelming real and deep concern as to what is happening with our beautiful tan and blue standard Yorkie.
Until we (collectively) get these health concerns under control, the paramount duty of the club as I see it, is to strive forward with research, to try and curb somehow these bybers, and to safeguard the health, the temperament of our beautiful breed.
Until progress is made on these fronts, I'm sorry to say ethical Parti breeders, there just will not be any receptance to your plea for full parti recognition.
I do encourage you to promote genetic health testing, in fact to mandate that as part of an ethical breeders membership in your club.
