You said the Yorkshire Terrier originally had Maltese in it and that is what I try to speak to but you keep bring it back to Joan Gordan having one tri-color. I will concede that since you have the letter from her. I trust that. But it just does not lead me to believe the other things we are in contention over.
I will admit you threw me a surprise there as I had not remembered that if I had know it before.  I definately don't have it all down, but I know I read plenty trying to find any justification for white in the breed and could not find it. Supposition is just not enough to convince me. |
Actually no one knows 100% what dogs went into the Yorkie. Does it matter to me , No. I just want people to stop saying they are not purebreds and that yorkies were never born as tri colors when it has been proven that they were born in various colors. If the tri wasnt a yorkie then why would Joan and Jan register Trippy with AKC as they did? Why did they not just pet him out? .
It was also published that Hemingway's grandfather had a white yorkie named Tassel. I highly doubt this was a misprint or a lie since he was a distinguished writer.
I love the parti color yorkie but I also love my traditional color yorkies too. I do agree there are alot of yorkie breeders whether it be parti or traditional that are out for the almighty dollar and that some of the partis are crossed with something else ,so are the traditional colors and so are the biewers. That is why all of my dogs are DNA'd, health tested and are only placed with a select few. I urge all people before buying any of these to do the same, make sure all dogs in the pedigree are dna'd, health tested and that you research the breeder thoroughly.
