Do you approve of different colored yorkies?

I realize the YTCA is not the AKC; the YTCA is the parent club of the AKC, and set the standard for Yorkshire Terriers. The AKC is just a registry that the YTCA uses and the AKC sets no rules for what a Yorkie should look like, only the YTCA sets the rules. There's is no listing for Parti. Register color #014 may mean "other" for all I know, but it doesn't mean Parti. I think some of the statements made that try to imply Partis are a special breed listed with the AKC are very misleading. There is no listing for Parti. Like I said before, a dog is eligible if his parents were eligible, and they are simply listed as Yorkshire Terriers.

Yes that is true, they are listed as yorkshire terriers having the color number of 014. But not ever off colored yorkie can be registered with the AKC. Those breeders who worked with the AKC to get the oparti colored registered had 42 litters of puppies DNA'd i9n order to satisfy the AKC that they were indeed purebred yorkshire terriers of a different color. No other off colors have been accepted.

So if you breed two traditional colored yorkies that are AKC registered and produce a chocolate or a golden, you cannot register them because there is no color number to give them.

So the statement that you made saying that they are eligible if their parents are eligible is not completely correct.

So unlike other off colors, Parti colored yarkies are not just eligible, they are accepted and registered by the AKC.

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.

There are still inaccuracies being posted that need to be corrected and clarified.

New members should not be bullied into being afraid to buy parti colored yorkies by people who give them misinformation about them. I am just trying to set the record straight.

Were these puppies only DNA'd against the parents to see if, in fact, these were the parents of the puppies?

But if the Yorkies background cant be prove one way or the other, how do you know you are not giving out the mis-information? Why is it only the reputable breeder/exhibitor, that have for years studied Yorkies, are giving out mis-information?

I don't see any 'inaccuracies'--I see differing opinions on the subject, which everyone is entitled to. No new members are being 'bullied' into being afraid of anything. (Heck, no new members are even posting here anymore.) But I think that they should DEFINATELY be warned to look out for people breeding for profit. I would think you'd issue the same warnings if someone came on here asking about a 5,000 'teacup.' I think that what you are viewing as "misinformation" is would be more accurately described as a view on the subject that is different from your own.

I would not personally by a parti breed or Yorkie mix . It is just not for me, and against my beliefs. I am all for the Yorkie Standard, and feel that it should be upheld to the highest level.
People who want to have something else and willing to pay thousands of dollars for something "designer" are ignorant.. IMO.

I am giving out the information that is proven. And the fact the beginnings of the breed are undocumented, is documented.

You would have to ask the AKC what they were trying to prove with the DNA. But whatever it was, they were satisfied that those parti colored yorkies did indeed come from 2 traditionqal colored yorkshire terriers. And that those parents came from long lines of registered yorkshire terrier champions.

Just because they are not posting does not mean they are not reading. There have been several innacuracies or inuendos that I have had to correct or clarify because they were either incorrect or misleading.

And if telling someone that anyone who buys these dogs is ignorant and misinformed isn't bullying, than I don't know what it is.

Didnt I already say this with the exception of that it has been documented that the founders were breeding for a blue and tan dog, not a parti colored dog.

Are you accusing me of being demagogous and that my statements have no value? I kind of take offense at that!

But I thought you were the guru on parti colors! I would have thought that you would be up to speed on exactly what AKC was DNAing for. Wouldnt that knowlege be in your best interest? As I said before, just because the parents were DNA'd against the puppies that they produced doesnt mean that there wasnt a "fly in the pudding", purposely bred in by bybrs for a cash crop or other reasons, only a few generations ago, before DNA and kennel inspections.

You must be talking about the coveted NIKKO kennels! I have no other comments on them.
