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  ). |
The history was not invented, it was but together by many people doing hours and hours of research. All of the information on the parti color has documentation to back it.
The YTCA needs to do a little research on the subject, instead of just denying the facts. Yes facts, documented facts. letters from long time breeders, which state the facts. Facts from show registries, facts written in books from some of the top authorities in the country on yorkshire Terriers.
One can stick their head in the sand, but that does not change the FACTS.
