There are a lot more parti breeders on this forum, than those who speak up for importance of breeding to standard. I'm the one that feels bullied.
Floppy ears have been there too, should we start breeding for it because they are cute? I happen to love floppy ears, but I would not support a breeder who bred for them. I think a breeder should find a breed they love, and breed for a great representative of it, I don't think they should try to change standard. Yes, the YTCA is the mother club, and they are there to protect the club standard, if no one did that, the yorkie wouldn't have any identity. Don't you try to choose other qualities of standard that you think are important, If you can see that breeding other qualities of standard is important, than you could see why breeding all qualities of standard is important. If you don't think breeding any qualities of standard is important, than I wonder why you choose a particular breed to breed? For me, it really is an all or nothing thing, you can't just pick and choose the qualities you like. Some breeders love curly haired yorkies, do you think they should breed them even if they love the look? I realize it's a free country, and people can do what they want, but I don't think this is really protecting the breed. So they may be a wonderful person, but they are not a good breeder in my opinion.
