Biewer's have their own assocition of breeders so I'm not sure why you keep saying biewer owners/breeders have problems with the YTCA. In fact the standards for the YTCA are very similar to that of the BCOA, (

Anyone on here who owns a chocolate or a parti collor or a biewer would have concerns about the YTCA's rules and code of ethics.

In fact every person I know who owns a Biewer holds the YTCA ethics in very high regard.
The red and chocolate yorkies are affected by the bb genetic makeup, while the Yorkshire Terrier should only be carrying the dominant BB genes. While the health problems often associated with blueborn pups are usually not seen in these puppies, most of the situations where the genetic abnormality occurs are with BYB's that are not likely to share the problems with show breeders. This is a recessive trait that should not be repeated, yet another reason breeders should follow the YTCA's code of ethics. People who fall for the hype that these are "rare" yorkies are being deceived. Saying that chocolate yorkie owners would have problems with the YTCA code is like saying owners of a blind yorkie would have problems with a yorkie standard that says yorkie should have good vision! Just because the abnormalities occur doesn't mean breeders should stop trying to strive for them NOT to occur. Thats all I'm saying!
