We are to strive for perfection as defined by whom?" Yes, of course I know that is the breed club, in US that would be the YTCA. So, we have "perfect" Yorkies that are blue and tan. We also have technically "imperfect" ones,parti colored, that have a lot of white in the coat. We have a growing group of people who like the "imperfect" partis and want to promote them rather than kill them off as the YTCA and their international counterparts would do.
I guess what offends me most is the constant dismissal of people who like the parti color Yorkie as a no-good breeder lusting after financial profits for selling a rare coloration. It's a blue and tan world and we need to kill off anything that doesn't fit that description.
Some people like partis. Why can't we find a way to make room for them in the Yorkie world?
Personally, I breed for blue and tan but find it hard to live in a rigid world that doesn't have room for natural variation. |
