I fully understand those YTCA breeders who breed to meet the standards and the people who only are looking for a dog that meets those standards. I admire the work and knowledge they put into bettering the breed. There are standards a show breeder would be knowledgeable about that a pet owner would not be aware of and maybe never even have the trained eye to notice.
It make me sad to read that some would never pay for a Biewer or Parti and putting them in the same category as mutts. It seems to me that the responsible Biewer and Parti breeders are breeding to the Beiwer standards or Parti to the Yorkie standards except for color? They seems to be very concerned with the health issues etc. In my case I would willingly pay for a dog from responsible breeders who are breeding to the betterment of their breed standard and screening for health issues although it may not be to YTCA standards. I have a taste for things that are a little different which is why I am interested in the Biewer or Parti.
I just do not understand why some people think the are substandard as opposed to off standard. Were not Yorkies a crossbreed of different dogs some of which no longer exist? Once the wealthy discovered the dogs and began showing them the standards were developed. Is that not what the Biewer and Parti people are trying to do but they are at the beginning of the process and are using the knowledge gained from the YTCA as a basis for their standards?
I am not trying to be confrontational or implying anyone else's opinion is not right, nor do I have issues with the YTCA standards.
