Do you approve of different colored yorkies?

I do not think Nancy was wrong to post that... I actually agree with her.. Breed to the standard. To me it is not a trus Yorkie- Parties, or Beiwers... Their in a leaque of their own... Although beautiful . Not the standard bred Yorkie....

Those that believe that black and tan yorkies used for breeding is a double standard...I have a question for you. When two black and tan yorkies are bred together they can produce a correctly colored yorkie. When two partis are bred together can they produce a correctly colored yorkie?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Those have been my thoughts all along...when breeders integrate black and tan into their programs, it is to bring richness in color back into the line but still with the intention of producing standard colored offspring....not at all the same, IMO.

And yes, to me $4-5K for a dog with the marketing as "rare" I just don't understand--whether it off-color, extra small or show quality standard. If the breeder is covering costs of stock, show expenses, medical testing or genetic testing, that's one thing, but just because you "can" get that much....quite another.

Read my question again.

I said I know they were eligible, but didn't know how they were listed. It isn't using the word Parti. I guess the answer is "Color number 014". I think many people are mislead to believe that there is a special "Parti" category.

Here's a quote form the YTCA website:

Do not be fooled into buying one of these dogs.
Now that Designer Dogs are the rage, the “new” Parti-Color Yorkie is certain to draw attention. While we have had problems in the past with “rare gold” Yorkshire Terriers being advertised, the parti-color is a new one! While some breeds have an occasional mismark and some breeds do have a gene for a white dog, we do not. Had there been a problem with white markings, piebald dogs, or white dogs, it would have been addressed in our Standard. Due to unscrupulous breeders advertising parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers at premium prices, our members voted unanimously at our annual meeting to add a disqualification for these and other off colored dogs.

What is important here is Have you learned anything from this thread?

The Parti subject always produces a lot of controversy. We parti lovers hasve fought this battle repeatedly and the same issues are always brought up, but yet I do learn something from every debate.

You are correct, they weren't but we are. The question was whether or not their breeding was substantiate. And in every historical account of the beginnings of the yorkshire terrier it states that there is little more than unsubstantiated information to go on.

I know this to be completely untrue because I personally am nither ignorant or uninformed. I know exactly what I am doing. so she is not only bordering on name calling she is also incorrect in her assumptions.

And the entire post added no value whatsoever to the conversation of the thread. It was completely demagogous.

Well, in all fairness, there have been quite a few of those types of posts within the last 21 pages of this thread. I was actually shocked to see that it was still alive and well and still going. It's almost like de ja vu...I could SWEAR this conversation has all taken place before. I can't wait to look back on this in 10 years and see how times and opinions have changed.

The YTCA is not the AKC. I do not know the wording for the color number, I'm guessing that 014 is the number for partie colored dogs. I do not know that for sure, just guessing. But I'm not sure how or why that even matters. They are registered as color #014. And that was the question that was asked and answered.

I agree to that. However there are new members all the time that are unaware of the previous threads. I hope they can eek out some information on when how and why parti colored yorkies came about and not merely that anyone who thinks of buying one is ignorant and uninformed.

That is true, there are always new members who are looking to gain information and opinions. I do believe however that both sides with differing opinions have a right to express their thoughts on the subject.
The past few pages have been neither--it's been long time members aguing out their "sides"...so it would seem as if this thread, like all the others before it, is quickly approaching having run it's course.
