my eyes are not the greatest but I only see March 15, 12:05. where do you see 1993....what line?? |
It's at the very top, the header of the page that's been scanned. |
Sorry, I was looking to the right of it for year. Never saw anything like that before and thanks for posting. |
Colors and Markings Yorkshire Terrier Below is a list of the colors and markings available for this breed. Please refer to the breed standard for descriptions and the difference in types. Description: The name of the color and/or markings. Type: Standard or alternate. This is the classification of the color for show purposes. Please refer to the breed standard for specifics regarding this breed. Code: This is the code entered on an application for registration of a dog. http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/800/14845...ault/empty.gif Colors DescriptionTypeCode Black & GoldS 234 Black & TanS 018 Blue & GoldS 041 Blue & TanS 044 These are the only colors that AKC has listed now. I would think that if a Yorkie doesn't fall under one of these colors then you wouldn't be able to register them. |
On the AKC website and the YTCA website, it said that the standard was approved April 12, 1966. You said that the color list was faxed to a friend of yours from AKC... Quote:

No, they will register a different color than those you described, but you have to send in a picture with the registration. |
I know that when I registered Diesel the choices above were the ONLY ones that you had to choose from. There was nothing on the form saying to send a picture of your dog if you could not register them under one of those colors. |
I sent AKC an e-mail inquiring about the different colors. I'm anxious to learn more about this. I'm sure they won't respond until some time next week and I'll post for everyone to read. |
On the puppy registration papers that I have in front of me, to the right says, "Markings - Enter the 3-digit code that most closely describes yoru dog. For alternatives, see www.akccolors.org " I went there http://www.akc.org/registration/colormarkings.cfm and it still only lists 4 colors. :confused: |
Thanks Kimberly, they are slow but will be anxious to hear what they say. The AKC is all about records and the more I think about it if they have proof that two pure bred yorkies were sire and dam of the pup then I would think they would have to register the dog . Although they cannot show it I wonder if AKC limits breeding?? I did know someone on the internet who sent a picture (so akc could see what came of the breeding of that sire/dam) and their dog was registered. The Biewer and Parti Color can be registered and they cannot show them yet and it doesn't look like they limit breeding in their case. Hummm very interesting. |
I am so glad that I have come to know and respect the AKC and YTCA standards as far as Yorkies go. Just because someone's dogs are cute doesn't mean that they meet standard. Every cute pet deserves a home but not all people who want to make money deserve to be breeders. I think its sad when breeders are clearly not breeding for the love of the breed, but rather to make money. I don't see how someone can say they are reputable and love the breed without even knowing some of the key points brought up in this thread. I appreciate all the people who spoke up in this thread and the eloquent words spoken by you all. I wanna know what health problems are associated with the chocolate Yorkies? Does anyone know for sure? |

Akc AKC has the problem of trying to play in both play grounds..that of the ethcial fancier who uses the standard as their as their "bible" and everyone else...it is because of losing so much revenue from non-standard color breeders that they will allow many colors...but at least they refuse to allow them to be shown..of course they would if breeders voted for it, which they did and was shot down. YTCA is perfectly happy with the standard as it is and if it is not broke then no need to repair it IMO... If AKC only registered correct color and no puppymill litters, they would go broke in a year...AKC has a very ahrd job trying to keep everyone happy..LOL I do respect the Biewers because they have their own standard and registry/shows..they are not trying to be something they are not... |

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"! |
