Thank you. yes that is where I read it, I have their book. |

But they went back as many generations as they could with the testing which disproves the theory that they hac come about recently. So until someone can prove otherwise that is the way it stands. |

Universities do unbiased independent studies all the time. Perhaps a school of Veterinary medicine could be persuaded to do one. But they would do it the same way we are doing it, breeding the dogs and recording the results. there is no other way. |

Different breeders used different dogs, perhaps the line that the silkie came from did not have the maltese mixed in. Not all of those early breeders used the same dogs. But eventually as they breed developed the breeders sought out other dogs that had the same traits as their own dogs and mated them. the develoopment of the yorkie was not a scientific endeavor. it was done mainly by poor people who couldn't even read or write and their breeding records were kept in their heads. |

And everytime the thread gets closed. Everyone can go back and see for themselves. And I have never once called you names. And yes I have to reiterate because you keep repeating the same false statements over and over and I feel it is my responsibility to give the people the correct information. |

The YTCA has the same information that is out there for everyone to read. but they refuse to believe it. Yorkies were around long before the YTCA, the YTCA does not have an exclusive on them. But they refuse to know anything that is contrary to what they want to believe. To me that makes everything they say or do suspect. Once I have found that someone is deliberately trying to mislead me, from then on I am suspicious of everything they say. |
Perhaps the OP could start another thread and get her question answered there and be able to get the info she was actually looking for. This has clearly become another debate about the ethics of breeding Partis. I cringed when I saw the topic changed to that back on the first page.... |
Quote:
there have been many books and articles noted on here, go loook them up. And meanwhile , ask the YTCA where they got their information from. The question of the maltese being in the original make up was in a book written by one of the oldest authorities on the Yorkie and that persons name has been brought up in this thread. But if you only want to believe what the YTCA says, then don't waste your time. |

You do realize, that in any of these large organizations, it is all politics don't you. Or do you really believe the tobacco companies then they say they are not targeting children, and their cigarettes don't contain added ingredients to get people addicted and they willingly contribute to the non smoking programs. You want to buy a bridge? |

Unless one was there and part of any study they conducted, I don't see how anyone can proclaim with any certainty that any results were skewed or biased. As for "not contacting them" for that reason or any other...that seems like a very convenient route. ;) |

Generally speaking, if you are truly want to promote understanding and acceptance, this is not the way to go about doing it. There seems to be a pattern of people claiming one thing or another was "proven" and "researched" but when asked for more detailed info, the response given mirrors the one above. Again, a very 'convenient.' What was the phrase used earlier..."painted into a corner?" This kind of ambiance is what causes threads to deteriorate to the point of being non-productive and insulting. It is clear the thread took two clear turns--one from being changed to being all about breeding partis, the other where it just became nothing but a continuation of arguments from previously locked threads... |

I am really sorry for this; I thought it was important for the average person to understand that improving the breed did not mean bringing in more variety. There is lots of misinformation printed, and sometimes he who posts most is believed. Here's a good link on the difference between a responsible breeder and a back yard breeder. I agree with the conclusion that a responsible breeder improves the breed and a backyard breeder damages the breed. I'm not name calling, but if the shoe fits . . . Responsible Breeder or Backyard Breeder? |

They have access to the same information that the rest of us do and all other avenues lead to "there is a good possibility that the maltese were in the original make up", yet they state otherwise. So if there is no proof then the least they should do is say that it is not proven rather than to state it as fact. They also refuse to accept the research that the AKC has done. why is that? |

There is no concrete proof either way but there is more information pointing towards the theory than against it. I just wonder why some people even care what I or anyone else breeds as long as there are no known health issues involved. Why should anyone care if someone wants to breed an Shnikerlabradoodleshnautsu. people want pets, some want unique and different pets. As long as they are healthy and treated properly why should anyone care? And there are breeds, that I have previously pointed out, that by following the breed standard they are actually breeding dogs with major health issues. And eventually that might even be the case with the yorkies. Never say never cause you just don't know what might evolve in the future. We have been told, you can't breed those colors and call them yorkies because they are not purebred yorkies. And then turn right around and be told, you can't start your own breed club because they are yorkies and you can't start a new club on color alone. well what is it? Either they are or they aren't. If they are then they should be accepted and if they aren't then it is none of YTCA's business. Is this really about the dog, or the breed or is it a personal thing. I'm beginning to think it is more personal than anything. |

Generally speaking, regardless to how one feels about the ethics and stance of the YTCA regarding the direction the breed should take and where it stands now, it's much easier to criticize others for their efforts than to try to advance matters oneself, I suppose. They seem to be second guessed and challenged quite often, but those doing the finger pointing can't back up their claims with anythnig more than opinions and theories that conveniently serve their own purposes. In short, I have yet to see any coordination of parti breeders to conduct any comparable studies that support their claims and theories. So until you have something to add to the pot.... |

As long as people are breeding responsibly, and by this I mean taking care of their dogs and caring properly for them, making sure there are no health issues, etc, and they are placing their puppies responsibly, then I don't care what color/"quality" dogs they are breeding. MOST people want dogs as pets only, MOST people don't show, and a lot of people have a preference on what color or what breed or mix of breeds they want. I think people should be allowed to have the dog that they want so long as it isn't deliberately breeding a sick animal. I love all of my dogs, but I absolutely hate the attitude that many (not all) show dog breeders or supposed experts tend to carry along with them. If can do things their way, and let everyone else do things there way, that would be fine, but oh my gosh does the stupid debating get old. And honestly sometimes seems almost Hitler-esque and scarey. |
When the offensive comparisons to historical hate groups start, that's when I check out of the conversation. |

I guess I am confused about what someone might be uninformed about. I do agree that many people are taken advantage of by misleading (mostly internet websites) advertising on yorkies and other small dogs, and asking an astronomical amount of money when you could get the same result (or better) by finding a local breeder. I can totally understand how someone in that situation may be uninformed. OR when someone claims to have a "tiny teacup" litter that is for sale. But I think the whole color standard is such an absolute rediculous thing to cause such a uproar about. |
Quote:
Other than that, it's just difference of opinion and desire to preserve the breed, and concern over unknown health issues. Quote:

I think way at the beginning of the thread the question was asked of whether to begin breeding with a sound line bred bitch vs. A gorgeous out cross. I think it is more complicated than that. Both bitches I have bred as the foundation of my dogs (papillons not YTs) are the result of a pretty tightly line bred bitch bred to an unrelated dog who was also line bred (no as tight). So the bitches themselves were outcrosses but behind them are line breedings. I recently bred one of these bitches back into her dam's pedigree and am thrilled with the results, the awesome temperment and structure of the dam's line but incoporated into that the better coat of the sire of the dam. The other bitch was outcrossed again to another unrelated line (that sire is the father of one of my other bitches) and thoise puppies are very nice as well, but I think I will be a step closer to what I want once I breed this new generation back into their granddam's line. So if the choice is tightly line bred versus a total mish mash I'd pick the tightly line bred (assuming health is not an issue). But I would not pass up an outcross who is the product of two linebred parents because then you have the benefits of 2 lines and the ability to breed back into either line. Just my opinion. |

That reference is made quite casually about many things. the fashion Nazies, the food Nazies, etc. You know as well as I do that she meant nothing by it. |

Very true and those same people wouldn't listen if you tried to tell them anyway. |
