Does anybody else thing this is a good idea?
| IF these variation of dogs are ever going to gain AKC recognition, then there would have to be a uniform, coordinated efforts among Parti breeders. So a "club" would seem to be the first step.
However, as AKC sets standards based on the YTCA, it's not the AKC's approval you have to get, it's YTCA's...unless AKC decides to adopt another organization as the parent clud, which isn't at all likely. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that it's the way it is. Per feedback from YTCA, they are not willing to accept off-colored Yorkies.
With all the questionable Partis popping up every time you turn around being marketed in such questionable manners, is it really any wonder why they are not open to the idea at this point in time?
Yes, standards change, but according to YTCA approval--and they don't approve of Partis.
So I guess the real question is this: If your desire is to see them gain AKC and standard recognition, what are YOU doing to contribute to that goal? (The common fallback justification of "breeding healthy dogs" doesn't work in this scenario.) |
