It's not an excuse that the parti breeders are trying to use. They want the YTCA to acknowledge that the piebald gene is a part of the Yorkie make-up. If they can't do this, then fine, but don't allow an exception to be made for one of their own. |
Did you read my first paragraph?

| I personally think she should spay and neuter the dogs that produced this fault, YTCA members are individuals and apparently she doesn't think this is necessary. It seems that the YTCA believes that a parti should be spayed or neutered and placed in a pet home, and not sold for profit, but no official stance on carriers.

Is they all parti breeders want, that the YTCA say the piebald gene is a part of the Yorkie make-up? No question it seems to be part of some lines, and people seem to be trying to get it in every line, but it's still a fault. Also, I don't feel any differently about the parti trait, then any other fault, I feel strongly that breeders should breed to standard, and if they don't like standard, they should find a breed that suits them more.
