I was just hoping someone could post a link or some info on the YTCA's stance, opinion, rule...whatever...on breeding a known disqualifying fault. I guess there really isn't one. It's just expected.
I guess the point I was trying to make is...if a YTCA member can show and breed a known carrier...then so can I! |
A yorkie that is black or one that is a very light silver would also be disqualified. Possibly all yorkies have the 'genes' to produce a faulty color if the right combination is made. The YTCA is not a policing organization and they will not go around telling breeders who to breed and who not to breed.
Paragraph one of the YTCA code of ethics states:
Quote:
|
1) A breeder-member shall strive to conform to the Yorkshire Terrier Standard as approved by the American Kennel Club, to improve progeny, and to reduce faults to a minimum.
|
The YTCA knows that dogs will produce faults but members should strive to avoid them.
Again you mention the YTCA member that used a champion that produced parti pups. This member did not intentional try to produce these pups and she did not intend for them to be sold with full registration. I don't think she was even a member of the YTCA when this incident happened. Do you think because she had a error in judgment several years ago that that entitles everyone else to make the same mistake? I am not a member of the YTCA but I respect the organization and I understand their goals. The YTCA members that post there grievances about parti yorkies on here are speaking from their hearts as to what they feel about parti breeders that are trying to exploit the breed by adding color. That is just their opinion and everyone is entitled to an opinion. The problem is not so much about parti breeders but about the unethical way that some of these breeders came about getting their dogs. Many lessons have been learned, the main lesson is that stricter contracts are needed by those that don't want their lines getting into the hands of breeders that share differing opinions on breeding for the betterment of the breed.
