YorkieRose, I have respected you and your vast knowledge most every time a controversy has came up and granted, I have not read a great deal of your posts. That said, I have seen many times that you have correctly advised YT users in matters of delivery, breeding, nutrition etc. I guarantee you that AKC has not lost a single penny of revenue in regards to registering my dogs and puppies. When DNA started and litter ap prices raised, I stuck with AKC and intend to do just that. I hope that in time you will come to respect the Chocolates, Parti's etc. And that they will all be excellent quality Yorkies. |

yes, they sent a questionaire to breeders and dog fanciers a few months ago about letting mixed breeds participate in AKC things. I never did hear the end result tho. I filled out two of them. One for me and one for the hubby's beagles. |

colors This is a tricky area and you are going to get very passionated responses. When a person is dedicated to the betterment of a breed, they want the rules to apply as set forth in the standard. Why mess with perfection...? We do not make a better Yorkie by changing the color, making it oversized, undersized, mixing it with a poodle or a Chi etc..the only way to make a better Yorkie is to breed by standard guidelines...the only reason to breed is to improve..and no one can say they are improving by producing incorrect colors or mixes...harsh, blunt, but this is how we think. I would respect non-standard breeders more if they were honest and said they did not consider the standard important, are only interested in breeding pets as a hobby and profit. BUT please do not tell me you have the best interest of the breed at heart..just be honest. I love all dogs, what color they are or quality is not something they are responsible for creating..the dog is respected. |

"betterment of the breed". Gosh, I have never used those exact words, but I have strived all these years for better quality Yorkies. I must have done something right. Show? No never have. Have friends who do. I don't think I will be able to change the Yorkie world with my one pair of Chocolate Yorkies. I do see some very innovative ideas across the www for different color choices. I guess I always have wanted to produce a better quality of Yorkies that would be the smiles on faces for years. Basically, what I saw the GP wanted when they would call me. And I do see a trend, and I am sure you all see it too. |

Call me crazy, but wouldn't 'bettering the breed' require trying to meet the standards of the breed?:rolleyes: |

And you say that the tinies are no one standard but my own? Where have you been keeping yourself? Oh, I forgot "everything is BIG in Texas"! |
