Hopefully they can keep it up for a few more games. Auburn has an excellent swim team though. I think the name UGA was very cute to give their mascot.

Glad you asked the question though. Us died in the wool Yorkie fanciers do have strong opinions on color and back up the YTCA standard 100%. The parti people, choco lovers, and blonds will not change the standard. There have been way to many unethical and irresponsible breeders in the past and now its impossible to DNA or unravel what damage that has been done to this breed. I suggest reading articles and books by the Gordon/Bennett twins. They were the gurus of this breed and responsible, for the most part, bringing them recognised in this country. Their entire life was Yorkies!! No one has done more research about them that they have and no one has as much hands on experience than they did.

The Gordon/Bennett twins are of the Wildweir prefixed kennel? According to the e-mail correspondence I have from one of the parties involved in the Nikkos investigation, Wildweir was the one who told AKC they had more parti's than the Nikkos lines but that they got "rid" of them.

The parti coloring in a number of "thought to be outcross lines" are all tracing back to one particular Wildweir dog. I don't think there is more than one "old time" breeder with the Wildweir name? Once you put 2 and 2 together, I tend to lean toward what the research, documentation and pedigrees are pointing to.

I guess only the parties involved would know the answer for sure, the investigators from AKC, the parti owners fighting for registration privileges and the old time breeders that AKC interviewed about parti color showing up in their past/early litters.

I was curious.

I always worry that newbies will be put off by too much information! It's like you want a basic answer and you get a course on physics! I always think of this question, as being similar to the "Mommy where do babies come from," question, there are many ways to answer it, and some just give way too much information for the basic learner.

Oh me too, I'm so glad I used the search feature, and just found answers that way, it also helped me to learn how to write a response that doesn't sound so judgmental, I'm still working on that though.

Know what mean there too. Hard telling when you have to express yourself thru a keyboard. Sometimes I re-read my post and think hmmm I sound like a complete butt! Wish more would do that

Oh BTW I think your posting just fine
