I wonder if at some point they will have breed club rules about testing for these genes prior to breeding-within the YTCA in attempts to fully exclude partis-I know it is encouraged breeders do this but not required. (my understanding is just based on my own readings)
I read that YTCA breeders do sometimes find they have a parti carrier, and they of course have AKC registered dogs, however they will not allow a parti in the ring...I'd assume (perhaps safety) they are acknowledging existence but not the quality of for show.
Like the idea is to breed them out or cull the herd two carriers should not be bread together but breeding a carrier to a non-carrier producing YTCA standard dogs is okay.
Again sorry to post off topic on this thread but that's my understanding of this.
To the OP,
I hope my posts haven't made you feel attacked. I always just post my opinions and perspectives on each thread I reply to here. I hope you take each opinion as food for thought in whatever choices made. |
Yes, good catch, I wasn't thinking, I believe the YTCA stance is that you don't purposefully breed a Parti and offspring should be placed in a pet home. Last I heard, there was no marker, but that sure would help end some of problems. I have heard of some YTCA breeders who are breeding the Biewer, for they consider this a separate, but closely related dog, and from my knowledge they aren’t breeding them back to Yorkies.
