The CYTC uses the YTCA standard with the exception of the color.

CYTC...Club Fees & Notices

No there are no genetic issues specific to the parti color.

I have no idea why the YTCA is against having another color category, you'd have to ask them.

I think you miss point a bit. Nancy mean the standard for colour is vague. She asking how would a parti be judge in ring because their no real colour standard..Coat wise, what would judge be look for? (Genuine question, I confused.) Just that they colourful? Is there any define marking? Or just...Well..Not be blue and tan? How would you change the Yorkshire standard as is now to include parti? (also serious question, I really want know.)

Actually the word partirefers to random spotting. A tri colored dog with a specific predictable pattern would not be considered parti colored.

:thumbup::thumbup:

A parti is a dog with random spotting. that is all there is to it. Other breeds just use the word psrti. No explanation is need because there is no specific pattern.

Wow....that was harsh! :thumbdown She has just as much right to participate in the converstation and voice her opinions as anyone else...that's someone for another member to dictate.

It means you should be asking questions not giving opinions on a subject that you know nothing about.

perhaps, but she knows nothing about the subject so she should be learning and asking questions not offering opinions on subject that she has no knowledge of.

Would you take the advice of some random person off the street that has had no experience in yorkies or breeding?

Everyone allow right to post opinion here. This thread itself is informative, and I do lot of research too, you not in my head, you no know what I do or do not know. Everyone has right to post, so I continue to post and give my opinion on this sort of topic- I never would interfere with whelp, breeding question other than to state the obvious (breed to standard, no breed 'teacup') This is not topic where I cause serious harm by posting uneducated opinion. Those thing I know nothing about. What I do not know, I ask question. What I do know, I post opinion. I ask about parti standard because I don't know. I post opinion on ethical breeding because everyone has opinion, and I believe know enough to be helping.

I believe my opinion useful and valid too. :)

I refer you to this post. You no know what I do or not know. When I has question, I ask. When have information, I post opinion.

Thanks you for sticking up for me.

I have had pet yorkie. How is pet owner opinion different to other pet owner who have post in this thread? Why only I not allow opinion Jeanie?

[QUOTE=magicgenie;3210412]My best dogs are imports. The shut-out and control issues I felt early on, mostly by YTCA, sent me overseas to get good dogs. There are not many in the US I would even consider bringing into my breeding now. Foreign breeders are more professional and businesslike, and the price is usually high enough to keep the mills and BYB away. My dogs and puppies are consistently in excellent health and beautiful. Getting the exact blue and gold described in the YTCA standard is hellish and one has to be careful not to compromise health to get it. People should go to shows and see with their own eyes the pretty little correct blue and gold specimens some politically connected YTCA members are stringing up and dragging, limping, around the ring, and winning titles with this unsound junk.
I've enjoyed this thread very much, learned a few things, and remain open minded and tolerant of differences.



It blows my mind how people will criticize our confirmation standards because they don't have yorkies good enough to fit in. They take short cuts then say things like this to justify them.

Only after you are actually showing in AKC can you judge what is being shown. You cannot go to a show one day to decide what is being put in the ring. This post is rude.

Sure there are some yorkies in the ring that are inferior to others. I spend my life at shows. Saying that members are dragging around unsound junk is a slap in our face. You paint your broad brush too. Where is the compromise to health? Foreign breeders, just look at what they are putting in the ring. We don't really want to talk about heath do we?




I'm so tired of people saying bad things about the YTCA. People just want to justify what they are breeding.

Did anyone look at the presidents website? Does everyone know? Miracle Yorkies. We know her history.

By the way, our standard is not gold. It is tan. People want to take short cuts to breed inferior dogs. Showing is hard work. It's expensive and you have to have exceptional yorkies. Few people have them. Few people are committed to doing it. They will make many excuses for having inferior dogs instead of saying the real reasons. I'm sick and tired of people bashing us.

Breeders want to breed to make money. They can sugar coat it anyway they like. There's no ethics in that.

Advice? She wasn't offering any advice, not about breeding or anything else that's going to cause any "harm." She was stating her opinion on the matter, which she is entitled to do. It was no more or less than what anyone else here as posted. As much as Partis are discussed here, who on Earth do you think is going to take that one opinion out of all the rest and see it as the gospel? :confused:

The young lady's posts were full of question marks, indicating that she was asking questions. She also states that she has done a lot of research on the partis and the Biewers. So yes, the comment is harsh. This young lady is going about things the proper way and she has every right to express her opinion. And there is nothing in the rules that says you to have to own a yorkie to make a comment.

[quote=Elle;3210559]:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Don't bother. I not liked and some believe I should not has opinion. Best to ignore nasty comment. :(

Thanks you, but as I say best to let go. This very interesting thread and I no want it locked.

You do not know what every breeders motive for breeding is, nor do you know what every exhibitors motive for showing is. There are ethical and unethical in both groups.

To lump them all together is very prejudice. Many breeders have the best interest of the dog in mind, and have their own reasons for not showing.

And many exhibitors are doing it just for the trophy or for the title and don't care what they have to do to get it.

Because your opinion is not supportive of those breeding Partis. That is generally how things turn out in these threads--everything is taken as a challenge. You can bet that if you'd commented gushing over how gorgeous Partis are and how you planned to get one some day, you wouldn't have been told to keep it to yourself.

This is an extremely mature comment. I admire that.

No you are wrong. It would not matter which side she took because her opinion means nothing to me.

She has no knowledge of the subject and therefore should be learning.

And that is the last that I have to say on this matter.

Ahh well Bama, you were no talk to like garbage and you not in favour of partis. This all very personal and should be left to PM but no one ever seem to take that offer...:rolleyes:

Thanks you! It hard to keep lip together when nasty rise but someone need to be bigger man..So speak! :p

Okay, then how about just NOT COMMENT on what I say? My opinion mean nothing? Then ignore. Don't stir pot. You not teenager. Stick to topic and ignore my post.

And that all I have to say on this matter.

Your opinion is dually noted. Fortunately for the rest of us, that is not your decision to dictate.

Don't feel bad Disney, if the whole Parti/Biewer aspect of Yorkies has you confused, then you are right on par with the majority of the members here...non owners and owners alike. :p

Please do not lump all parti breeders to posts made by JeanieK, she speaks for herself not everyone.

Everyone has different opinion! I research lot and everyone story is different. Enough to turn hair curls! :p

I come to conclusion: I believe in standard. When everyone get story straight and if ever parti accepted into standard and everyone get story straight, then I welcome breeding because not off colour, they be standard!

You are right. My apologies. :)

Yes, you understood this correctly. It was a serious question.

there is no other descriptioln for parti. It is random spotting.

Don't you understand that you need more of a description that that? You need to be more specific on head, legs, and saddle color. How would a judge decide on the best example of the parti color if there is no real description? How would breeders know which dogs to breed if there was no real description? If you are just breeding for the parti trait and that all, then you are only breeding for pets.
