You know how political showing can become. There are those who more or less control which way certain breeds are going to go. The CFA has made a hideous mess of several breeds to date. Some people are just sold on always changing things as you said. Getting the extreme look of a Persian or Siamese requires close line breeding and that usually spells disaster for the breed because most people are not skilled at that type of breeding but all want to copy cat the look. What a mess.
I'm glad that the Yorkie is staying with it's traditional standard and hope that it stays that way. |
