Have a great day!  |
And I addressed you directly.
"@ladyjane
There is nothing in any book I have found that explains where the gold coloring comes from, let alone the born gold Yorkies.
There are small explanations about where parti color comes from and in MY personal experience and knowledge, I can guess where chocolate comes from. What I cannot understand is where gold comes from, and no one, not even the color breeders have any explanation that I have found."
Simple and to the point. As I was asking a question, there would be no debate, would there? I did thank those who truly tried to help me.
I had and still consider you one of those who attempted to assist me. And I wonder why you would be so defensive about something that wasn't directed at you.
As for any "agenda". I have none, other than to learn about this breed that has brought such joy into my life in such a short period of time. That I do not accept things at face value, that I have done research that supports my points, and that I do not consider myself a supplicant at the table in amongst people that have known each other for a while, and have their own way of doing things, and unwritten rules, does not mean I have an agenda.
Just because I do not and have never adhered to the status quo, does not mean I have an agenda. If you believe I do have an agenda, you may feel free to PM me, and reveal to me what agenda I seem to have. I believe that if I am going to be accused of having an agenda, other than what I have already stated in any of my posts, I have a right to know what they are, or are perceived to be, and perhaps clear any misconceptions about why I am here.
You may not engage in "debates". I think that people may have opposing views and still remain polite and respectful. In real life, we do not always agree, why should it be so online? I am who I am, online, and in real life, and if I have a point of view, in it's proper forum, I will express it. The use of the word debate is equal to discussion, and is this not the General Yorkie Discussion Forum?
Thank you Gracielove.
I did look through the Breeder Section, and did not find what I was looking for. That is why I decided to ask here. Also, seeing as many others have asked questions regarding coat color in this forum, it was my thought that this would be the proper place to ask my question.
Last of all, I love my dog. She is an amazing little creature that makes me and my daughters so happy just by being her. And not only that, she is helping to heal the heart of a broken boy who has never known love from his own family. How can I not want to learn more about her, what makes her HER?
I have an inquisitive mind. I ask questions. I want to learn something new every day, and I go looking for that something, not waiting for it to fall on my lap by chance.
When something interests me, I try to learn more about it. I feel that by learning about it, I better appreciate its intricacies, whether it be a living creature like Pixie, Fred the turtle, or my bettas... or beading, small electronics, cooking...
That I am interested also in the genetic component of the Yorkie as a breed, doesn't mean I love my dog any less than anyone else on this forum. And should anyone not care to see what had been posted in reply to "Where Did The Gold Come From?" I believe the title would be enough to steer most away, and if not, my initial post explaining exactly what I meant by my title would deter the rest.
Pinehaven, again, thank you. I have not found the post on YT that you refer to, though I have been looking for information on Golds since before I joined the messageboard.
Perhaps I used too broad search terms or incorrect search parameters.. I confess I didn't read every post my searches uncovered, just the ones with titles that indicated they may be what I was looking for.
