Attached below is an article published in the New York Times in 1966 talking about parti colors being an issue in the Skye breed. |
I was referring to the Skyes posted in my quote. Those are not white Skyes! They are not born white, therefor not white dogs. Adult Skyes in cream colors are called white by people unfamiliar with the breed. Just as some people call the tan on Yorkies gold, others call it tan. And as with the TRUE SKYE FANCIERS and the TRUE YORKIE FANCIERS, you know the dedicated breeders that have done the most research on the breeds, there are no parti genes in either breed. Those of you who want to go your own way, do so. But you will never be recognised by either parent club or the true fanciers.
