The young bitch, often a champion, goes off to live free of charge as a pampered pet with all vet expenses covered by the breeder, returning periodically during reproductive years to whelp and raise a litter of high quality puppies. Same arrangement applies to many champion males. What is disgusting about that? This sounds like everybody wins, especially the dog that doesn't spend the first few years of its life as part of the pack at the breeder's home. What's disgusting about that?

The way you're chasing me around on here looking for things to attack is exactly what put me off on YTCA. Most members may not be like you, but enough are that I don't want to be associated with it. You lick a few boots to obtain membership in YTCA and once in it's a lifetime pass that some take as license to be snotty and rude, sometimes downright destructive to the breed. Leave me alone.

I'm not chasing you. These comments were what sparked my replies. I'm not replying to anything other than a post, so it's not a person just what you are posting.

I didn't say anything about Connie. I merely tried to point out something. This is a mute point.

You are incorrect about members of YTCA fostering out bitches. Co/owning is not a fostering program. This is absurd. So is that club, but it's an old one to us. Guess you're just trying to spread the word. Someone else to help sell puppies.

So one club use the word Co owning where another club uses Fostering.
Explain what you think is the differance.

Why are you against any club who want to bring breeders together to help them breed better dogs ?
That is the whole point of forming clubs.

And as far as spreading the word on selling, what is the differance in this club having a breeders list when YTCA also has a breeders list to sell pups.
We also get quite a bit of selling going on here from YTCA members.
90% of the time when someone post about looking for a dog, one of those members will tell the person check out YTCA list.
What they fail to leave out when they are advertizing for their fellow club breeders, as in all clubs not every breeder on that list are ethical breeders.

It's pretty obvious that you gals have an extreme dislike, hate and no concern for the show world. I don't know who hurt your feelings so bad, but it's not true. I'm not sure how many are posting the comments bashing YTCA, the sport, what is shown and our ethics, unless you are showing you can't judge what is going on in the ring.

It's not always fair. Facey judging is rotten and really discouraging. But you are complaining about it as you try to justify another disservice to the breed. This isn't nice.

So he condones people who lie and cheat and do whatever it takes to get ahead?
Does that set a good example of ethics for the YTCA?

That relationship was formed for the sole purpose to back the one group who claim their Biewers were not yorkies.

Debbie...has Mr. Yocum or anyone from the YTCA made any attempts to contact you for the info on your research and pedigree proof of the Biewer and the parti yorkie? It seems the parent club could at least form a committee to investigate the parti before slamming the door permantantly shut on a possible variety class. Does anyone know if the YTCA has put any kind of effort into an investigation of the parti yorkie and how, when or where it first appeared in the Yorkishire Terrier?

To answer a question....When I first got started in showing and breeding my first bitch wasn't a champion but that was when I first got started and it was only ONE bitch. I dont' breed much and I won't breed a bitch typically unless she's a champion. I know some breeders won't CH a bitch because I've seen a bitch show GREAT in the ring until something happened to her as getting stepped on in the ring and was fearful of the ring and she only lacked 4 pts to finish but when she got stepped on she never would act right in the ring (tucking tail, peeing in the ring ) because she was fearful.
I do health testing on my breeding/showing dogs absolutely! Wouldn't have it any other way! I breed CH to CH in my program. Again, I don't breed much and haven't had a litter in almost 3 years but when I do breed all health tests are done and they both will be champions.
I hope that answers your questions

You seen to be judging as well.

And I don't supply the pet market because I just don't breed that much and in fact I don't have a show/breeding bitch and haven't in almost a year. I breed for a show dog for myself and actually to be honest I'd rather be in the show ring vs. the whelping box. That is why I believe I have delevoped a great eye for a good representation of the breed. So if anyone says I'm in it for the money or pet market think again! I just don't breed that much so therefore I'm out way more money than most show breeders because I typically show instead of breed.

And I don't sell show dogs to anyone that I don't know on a personal basis. And if I ever have a pet quality yorkie to place in the future it will be spayed or neutered before leaving my house.

Thank you Donna for answering my question about health screening. I am wondering about the rest of the exhibitors. And I give applause to you for doing that. What tests do you do?

The bitch that did not finish..was she bred?

I wrote a thread about this a few months back and a few people were not happy about that at all. I do this and have done it for a few years.

But if you do place one in a show home with someone you know personally they still can sell the offspring from that dog to whom they choose, correct? I have seen contracts from show breeders that state the dog must be championed prior to breeding and only be used on the said persons quality bitches, but the offspring can go to whomever this person chooses. I could hypothetically purchase one of those offspring, put him in the ring and champion him if he fits the bill. So if I am showing him and he is not a carrier, is that ok? Yes. But if I am showing him and intend to better the parti line then No?

Breeding Yorkies certainly isn't dull is it...this color situation will never be settled...shoot, us standard color breeders can't even agree on what is blue and gold...all you have to do is look at a line-up in any ring and see the variety of shades...and each owner will swear it is correct blue...

I have gone around and around with a friend who looks at one of my BLACK girls and sees BLUE..she is not blue!! In order to achieve correct color, you need the ones who are light and dark in a breeding program...I do not think a Yorkie has to be a champion to breed it...where is that rule written? Many of the top producing bitches of all time were brood bitches..

So true about the colors one see's in dogs.

Pat wasn't red legs used at one time to help retain the dark color and does anyone still use these dogs today ?

No, most contracts now read that all offspring not kept by the owner are to be sold as pet only. And most are making this iron clad for 2 generations.

[maggiesmom_2007]

I know I have that as one of my stipulations. And you can be sure that if it isn't followed I will be starting my own repo business.

Very interesting thread Can someone please tell me why the Parquin line
are so expensive ? Just curious, is it because there are so few ? Thanks
