I will speak for myself and some of the Parti breeders I know.
We are not asking for your understanding if you don’t understand our goals.
But we do ask is that you stop chastising us at every opportunity for doing something we love and believe in. There are many who loves the Parti’s and are striving to producing healthy, beautiful, well structured dogs. And are breeding to the standard for the yorkies (omitting color)
Our passion is every bit as real and strong as those who believe in and breed the standard yorkie.
We believe it was a great injustice that the Parti color was not developed along with the standard color at the beginning of the breeds history.
We are working toward righting a wrong that robbed a beautiful dog of this rightful heritage.
What we are doing is working with each other to bring the Parti’s to their peak perfection.
Yes we have a long road ahead but the beautiful standard yorkies we see today were not developed over night. As the yorkie breed is still a baby in terms of how long it been around, the Parti colored yorkie is just being born.
While we have often seen the double standards when it comes to the YTCA’s stance on these dogs and with other issue, the question remains.
Why is it ok for some to do certain things and other will be called unethical ??
This type of hypocritical thinking is what most of us have a problem with, when we call someone out.
It is not done to try and justify our actions. But it’s mainly to show others not familiar with way things work in the dog world.
Yes we have heard standard breeders do not want the gene in their lines but it’s very possible the gene is already in their bloodlines somewhere and it just been taken recessive.
Since most of the dogs revert back to the foundation dogs that started the Yorkies those gene were locked in along with those pesky genetic defects we see today.
A few of the despairing remarks we see against these dog.
They are they just being breed for $$$$.We know there are those who are going to breed for the right and wrong reason in both Standard and Parti colors. But it’s very unfair to lump everyone into the same category.
They started out high just as the standard yorkies did when they first became popular and are now lower in price because they are in abundances. With more of the dogs being bred the prices are coming down and they are now more affordable for the pet person to own, love and enjoy .
They are out of standard, it’s a fault and should not be bred. We don’t see it as a fault but a natural occurring part of the make up of the Yorkshires.
There are just as many standards if left natural who would also not meet the breeds standard .
If you took out all dogs who have faults you would have nothing left to breed since there have never been a perfect yorkie born.
And if this issue of breeding the Parti’s bothers those from the YTCA then they should work with Parti breeders to establish a plan to get these dogs in as a variation of the breed.
But either way with or without YTCA's help we will continue on with the development of the beauitful Parti. |
i just wanted to say that i think this was very eloquently put. no matter what side of this clearly drawn line i find my beliefs and opinions are matching up to, it is refreshing to see a very well put statement that gives such detail and thought provoking information. thank you for that.
