If you can show your Yorkie that is another way. My first show with Razz was our Canadian National, talk about intimidated!. My breeder was there, and introduced me a bit. But she had to leave. All the Yorkie exhibitors were very friendly to me and chatted a bit as we were grooming for the ring. That can be another way to break the ice so to speak. |
I can dance around this or tell you straight up...you have Parti's and Biewers..most I know will not sell to you simply because of the fear of accidental breedings...doesn't matter how careful you are...please do not be offended it is what it is, you know that.. |

Thank y'all so much for all the information! It is an exciting undertaking. As for liking or not minding competition... I have no problem with it whatsoever lol I coached competitive cheer for years, used to dealing with mothers who all believe their daughter should be in front and on top of every pyramid :p |

Just out of curiosity, and not to start an argument, would they sell to someone who bred another breed of dogs, due to the risk of accidental breeding? I have partis, no Biewers. they have what the YTCA describes as a color fault, a very obvious fault. What if I had beautiful traditional colored dogs that had a fault that was not so obvious, would they still not sell to me, or is it just the parti that they obect to. |

What is happening now is there are some Parti breeders obtaining well own lines and breeding with their AKC Parti's..resulting in long time bloodlines showing up on Parti peds..these puppies can be registered AKC and if there is a show quality standard color in the litter, it can be shown..where is the end? Done long enough and there will be no pure standard color lines. You have lovely Parti's, if I wanted to go in that direction, I would dedicate myself to it and live with the consequences..I perfer the standard color, but can appreciate any nice dog. I do not think there is the same stigma with Biewers..but I am not an expert. |

It is all about protecting the breed. I fell in love with the yorkshire terrier over 30 years ago. I love the blue and gold coloring of the coat. Things have changed over the years and now the breed needs more protection than ever. And the reason I was confused is because I could not see how you are working harder. We work just as hard, if not harder. You may be talking more about conflicting opinions you are faced with by others over time, since you have parties. We all make choices in our life and that was your choice. That's all. |

Those of us that y'all call BYBs, because we don't show, still want nice dogs, but we have to work harder to get them because we cannot start out with show quality breeding stock. We have to start from scratch and build our own quality dog, which takes years and years. Most of us will never get there, but we enjoy the challenge. The partis have come a long way toward being accpted in the last few years. I believe they will be in the AKC shows some day. But I love the traditionals also. They are beautiful and I would love to have some really quality traditionals, but will just have to do it the hard way and build them from scratch. Thank you for the compliment on my dogs. They might not be show dogs, but they are sound, healthy and of good temperament |

Building a line that one can eventually call one's own takes years, even with good breeding stock. It's not just putting two dogs together, it's knowing what is in the dog's background. I know many that attempted to do this with dogs that they've obtained from either the back door, or from anyone that would sell them on an open registration. Only to discover, after years of breeding that they have to scrap their program and start all over again. |

Showing is not even an option for me, at this time, possibly never. It's not because I don't want to., Altholugh I don't think I would ever really enjoy it, I would make the effort, if it were an option. |
[QUOTE=Mardelin;3209030]I've not completely delved into the parti process. There is a difference of Championing a dog and not knowing it is a parti carrier and knowing it is a parti carrier and purposely Championing it.[/QUOTE] So...what you are saying is... We should not show and possibly Champion a dog who meets the standard in terms of color and conformation...because we know it can one day produce a parti if bred to another carrier? We are told at every turn on this board to get out there...show your dog, prove his or her's worth to be bred. Oh...but not you parti people. You are not allowed to show your dogs. Not even the ones who meet the standard. Well then...we can't win for losing...can we? LOL |
Forgive my ignorance but I don't understand the politics of it all. Isn't there room for both standard yorkie breeders and parti colored breeders? Can breeders who breed parti colored yorkies not participate in the show ring? Some folks love the traditional black/tan and others love the parti colored yorkies. I like the traditional colored but the more photos I see - love the parti too. I am not a breeder, or in the show ring or anything like that. I just love beautiful pets ~ like most folks who aren't professional breeders or competing in the show ring, etc. |

Seems a bit like a conspiracy doesn't it. They won't sell to us and we are not supposed to make our own. So we just ride it out, do the best we can and in time it will all come together. |

Than again, maybe I'm just missing the point altogether. |
In my opinion, it depends more on what you're goals are, I've seen some parti breeders who advertise "champion background" and similar terminology and I believe that this is wrong. The purpose of showing is not so that you can raise your prices or add new marketing words to your ads. Some breeders of standard yorkies do this as well, so I don't wish to single out parti breeders, but the word champion should not be in your advertising. After all, this is considered a major fault and one that's very difficult to eliminate, so of course, breeders are worried that this could become a trait in even more lines. I guess this is where honesty and integrity come into play. |

Just curious, on another point that I brought up earlier. Now that Partis are being allowed into some show venues, what have the results of that been? Are there a good number being entered? Etc... |
