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. |
It seems to me that the "true" yorkie fanciers that you've referred to and the same people you say have done the most research, have basically disregarded the views of early YT breeders and authorities, as well as, disregarded the historical writings of the late 1800 and early - mid 1900's. These "true" yorkie fanciers have chosen to ignore all the writings that the Maltese was used somewhere in the make up of the YT (Maltese being one of numerous breeds of dogs who have or carry the piebald gene). I suppose these "true" yorkie fanciers can try to rewrite history to suit their current views but I don't think the recessive genes in our dogs will magically disappear just to appease them.
