it's just that a few narrow minded people, who are hung up on the Standard that was set by the YTCA to be used for judging, believe that all yorkies have to be bred to that standard. People!!! lighten up, that standard is to be used for judging, the other colors are naturally occurring and there is nothing wrong with them. Get over yourselves already. The YTCA did not create the yorkie, it just set a standard to be used by judges in the show ring. |
Actually you really don't understand the purpose of a breed club obviously. YTCA is the parent club for the Yorkshire Terrier. Other purebred dogs registered with AKC has a parent club who has the breed standards for their breed. Collectively the show breeders who are members of these clubs are the ones that work with AKC to hold that breed standard that judges are trained in what to look for in each breed they are judging, per the breed standard for that breed as set out by the FANCIERS of that breed who have the knowledge and background and many many years of experience with their breed, whys and wherefores and potentials to be in the best positon possible to keep their breed and its standard as was intended for that breed when recognition as a purebred was first sought and granted by a registry such as AKC. This holds true in whatever country you are talking about. Here in Canada we have the Canadian Kennel Club that is equivalent and recognized by the AKC.
