I"m not breeding for Parti's so I'm not ignoring your point Tammy. I can't tell those that dye their dogs to stop nor can I tell Parti breeders to stop breeding for Parti's. It's all a choice that one makes.
There is a difference in a tri color and a lighter steel blue there is NO white in the dog.
LOL Tammy, again I can't police what others do with their dog. I can only do what I do and remain true to myself. I know I can live with myself and can sleep at night.
I never said I agree with dyeing a dog and I've always said it's wrong.
I can only stand behind the standard that I believe to be what is best for the Yorkshire Terrier and as long as the "Parti" is a DQ and not in the standard I can't support it as you are a breeder of Parti's you have to stand behind in what you believe.
