From cutting and roping through the Western Working bloodlines, to the more refined and higher stepping park and english pleasure horses.

The Pinto coloration will drawn in new buyers who may have always loved the look of the morgan but wanted the coloring seen in paint horse. It's a win/win situation. |
Not being a horse person, I was only trying to point out how the increased white may appear, and relate that to Yorkshires, and selective breeding, in general. I assume that was why you used the horses in your earlier post.
I don't think the rationale you give in the last couple sentences in the above post should carry over to the Yorkshire Terrier. Not sure it should even apply to horses, but then, I'm no horse person.
