I have to just say there is nothing wrong with calling these dogs rare. The parti colored yorkies are made when a recessive, and less common gene comes out, and this can be difficult to do.
As far as not being recognized by the AKC, I can defend the breeders and sellers in saying that 1) there is a demand, so there isn't any logical reason not to create a supply to meet it. Basic economics. 2) Nothing new is ever added without becoming prolific first. Think of it as the dictionary..every year, new words are added that may have not even existed the previous year because they have come into popular/common use. The standard is good, but saying that it cannot or should not be changed is just silly. As long as the dogs have no disabilities or undesirable traits (LP, etc..). |
