I don't think there's any hate here or that the issue should be cast as either pro or anti. There are some of us that are advocates for the Yorkshire Terrier as described in the breed standard...but haters?
I want to clear something up...at least on my part. If I've expressed heated views, it is not out of hate for any dog. It is more a response to the constant slamming of the parent club by 'some' parti breeders and of some of the dis-ingenious notions of history they use. Is it not enough to say that the parti is recognized by AKC but is not eligible for conformation events? That much is inarguably true. No need to add suppositions that serves no one...least of all the dogs. It's my own opinion but may be shared by some others to some degree. We should all be good ambassadors for the breed and slamming the parent club and inventing a 'history' doesn't serve that purpose IMO.
And I know Ann can speak for herself. I'm sure she loves Pfieffer (as she should....he's a darling boy) and I'm also sure her opinions are more evolved than to be either simply anti or pro. I'm pretty sure she and I have no animosity over this issue (at least I hope not  ). |
Sorry Jim, I should have worded my post differently. Not hate of the dog per se but yes, there are some exhibitors that "hate" the idea of tri color yorkies being bred, accepted by the AKC as purebred yorkies, and becoming so popular among pet buyers.
