We are working to develop the parti color. I imagine with all the other breeds that have different colors, people were bashed for developing those colors also, but eventually they were accepted. |

I won't comment on introduce parti colour because I still research whether they 'natural occurrence' or not. So far, I belief not because believe they have mutt not just yorkie. So until finish research, I leave that to more experience lover of the beautiful standard to debate. Nice to have civil debate with you Jeanie! :) |

You are not breeding the fault out of that dog, it still has the fault, and so do half of the offspring. What you are saying is that if you breed a traditional, that meets the standard, to a parti, and you get all carriers, That would be OK? If you breed two CH carriers together and half of the puppies are traditional and half are partis, is that OK? You see what I mean about not being all black and white? |

A dog with a bad tail set is not good quality either. |

The difference, as I see it, would be be the goal in what you are trying to produce as the end result--dogs that meet the standard vs those that don't. Quote:

Historical documents that go way back to the beginning, talk of white yorkies. The leading authorities on the Yorkie breed say they had parti colored yorkies in their line. These are professionals, they wrote the book on yorkies. maybe you should read their book. |
So how is breeding for what is perceived as a fault in color any different than breeding dogs that are too tiny to be healthy? From what I'm reading of the standard, because there is no minimum weight stated, someone with a tiny girl could show and potentially win. - Now I know the breeders here will state that would never happen because the judges all know what is considered a good breed specimen and a 3 lb girl isn't "it". But it's still not listed as a fault when an otherwise healthy dog that meets the standard in every way except being the "wrong" color is considered faulty. Sorry- I don't mean to be confrontational here, but I truly don't understand the thinking that is going on here with the YTCA. |
Here's the thing....no dog is perfect and you'll never achieve the perfect dog it's just not going to happen. The Parti color is a DQ in the Yorkshire Terrier Standard...so therefore that is not what should be in the show ring and should be in a pet home. Until that changes it's simple breed to the standard. A low tail set is not a DQ and a yorkie can have a level top line with a low tail set but of course you want to improve on that tail set so you breed to a yorkie that has a good tail set. All dogs have faults you breed to improve those faults. A Parti is a DQ so of course you shouldn't be breeding for that. Of course the siblings will inherit what is a fault so there for you place in a pet home and keep and show/breed the better quality one and keep on improving on the one that is the better representation of the breed. |

Do you follow this logic in your own program? Does anyone? |

What it did was to better their line. Not the entire breed. What we are all dloing is competing with ourselves. trying to make the next generation better than the last. And that is the challenge that keeps us all breeding. |
