The breed club for the Yorkshire Terrier believes that breeding for Partis is wrong, the breed club is the experts, and whether people like this or not, we can speak of them as the "majority". These breeders, in general, know how to breed and have created champions. There is an old saying that you have to know the rules before you break the rules, same goes with dog breeding, how many parti breeders have created champions before they got into breeding parti's, do they even know the other points on how to create a good structured dog? This is why many people question a parti breeders motives, but people cannot take this personally, and statements such as the one you just made suggesting that somehow we don't like Pfeiffer is really hitting below the belt. This really hurts me to read this, and I'm sure it hurts others as well. |
A person should not think it's okay to make blankets statements and for those reading them to not get offended, hurt, angry (whatever their personal feelings are). When it is written, "a sucker is born every minute", to describe the type of buyer that is attracted to the parti, then yes, Ann has a right to type exactly what she did.
She is not the one that took this thread to 'that' personal level so why are Ann's words being questioned?
As for those that have championed dogs and your belief that they have more rights when it comes to breeding....are you referring to a particular show breeder within this thread or just show breeders in general? You do realize that there are YTCA breeders on Yorkietalk that have never even championed a Yorkie, right? When you constantly recommend this show group to those that are looking for a breeder, do you only give the names of those that fit your statement,
"These breeders, in general, know how to breed and have created champions."?
I also agree with Ann on the fact that it has been discussed MANY times where the parti comes from.
