Yes, I do still work with rescue and most likely always will. My experience thus far with rescue is that partis, Biewers nor chocolate yorkies are typically found in rescue situations. I find far more byb and puppymill yorkies dumped in shelters and surrendered than any other type yorkie. So I don't really understand how the good breeding of partis/Biewers will result in more yorkie rescues? I don't think it's a valid argument.
I don't understand why it is so hard for you to believe there may be parti/Biewer breeders that are not breeding for "public demand" but because they love the coloration of their yorkies and would like to continue their lines. Just as there are a few breeders of traditional color yorkies that along with breeding for themselves, don't breed primarily for the selling of puppies. Most of the show breeders I'm aware of, breed far more dogs then they'll ever take into the ring. Do we really need that many show yorkies to "better the breed"?
I understand change is tough and not easily accepted. Where in this world would we be though, as a society if we did not at least consider the idea of change, even if it makes us uncomfortable?
