So, by virtue of what Tammy said, she's calling every member of the BRTCA and BTRA unreputable or a sheeple because this is their stance on Biewers:

[F Arial, sans-serif]The BTCA, Inc. contacted the Mars Veterinary in Feb of 2007 to see if they could help them with the genetic make up of the Biewer Terrier. It wasn’t until later in the year that they released the tests and we began submitting blood samples. After testing over 30 different lineages (100 plus dogs) to date, we have been able to show that the Biewer Terrier is a distinct of its own. Oct. 5th, 2009 the geneticist working with the BTCA, Inc. released the news that they had developed a breed signature for the purebred Biewer Terrier

[F Arial, sans-serif]Although the Biewer Terrier is a relative to the Yorkshire Terrier it is evident that they are not the same breed. After two years of working with world renown geneticists at Mars Veterinary, we have been able to establish that the Biewer Terrier is a completely separate breed with a genetic make up, unique to the Biewer Terrier.

Ethics is that branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions. Yes, individual ethics may vary. But we base every day activities on what the general consensus of right and wrong is within a particular society. We base our laws on what is the generally accepted ethics within a community. We say, in this society, that it's wrong to murder, to do drugs, to drink and drive or what ever. But obviously there are people who don't believe that there is a problem with doing any of those things. If someone were to kill another person, would we turn a blind eye to it and say "Oh, it's ok because he doesn't believe that what he did was wrong"? No we don't. That's what I mean by ethics is not a sliding scale. We don't get away with it because we only murdered one person and that wasn't as bad as that guy over there who murdered two.

Now, I truly am DONE with this thread.

I reread what I wrote and, yes, it was far too broad and for this, I apologize. I wish those of you that have said that all parti breeders are doing it for a profit would also recognize that an apology should be made as well. I know, for me, it's those type of statements that cause a stir and make it hard to make a clear point and, in turn, end up in argument. It does get really old to read in many of the parti threads how it is all done for money.
