My Tommy is 3/4 Durrer and I certainly have seen a wonderful improvement in my line in my coat texture and colour in his offspring.
I am certain Roberta also never used red leg in her program either and I very much doubt any of the others you mentioned have used them.
Certainly the Gordon sisters have contributed so much to the world of Yorkies and I would be surprised if anyone who has immersed themselves in the breed wouldn't have heard of them. |
Betty Anne Durrer has beautiful yorkshire terriers! I remember when I for the first time seen a Durrer dog show in Fort Wayne Indiana two year ago. Infact it was Peggy Horner's "Durrer's Excell" and what a beautiful boy he was! I do not think I have enjoyed watching a yorkshire terrier show as much as I enjoyed watching him show! I will also add that whatever Betty Anne Durrer and Roberta Rothenbach practice in their breeding programs has had wonderful outcomes! I also enjoy watching the Rothby dogs show.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Gordon sisters. They have contributed an enormous amount to the yorkshire terrier breed. I also own the old version and the new version of their book, they both are wonderful reading!
