I don't think there's any hate here or that the issue should be cast as either pro or anti. There are some of us that are advocates for the Yorkshire Terrier as described in the breed standard...but haters?
I want to clear something up...at least on my part. If I've expressed heated views, it is not out of hate for any dog. It is more a response to the constant slamming of the parent club by 'some' parti breeders and of some of the dis-ingenious notions of history they use. Is it not enough to say that the parti is recognized by AKC but is not eligible for conformation events? That much is inarguably true. No need to add suppositions that serves no one...least of all the dogs. It's my own opinion but may be shared by some others to some degree. We should all be good ambassadors for the breed and slamming the parent club and inventing a 'history' doesn't serve that purpose IMO.
And I know Ann can speak for herself. I'm sure she loves Pfieffer (as she should....he's a darling boy) and I'm also sure her opinions are more evolved than to be either simply anti or pro. I'm pretty sure she and I have no animosity over this issue (at least I hope not :D). | And that is why the threads get heated, because of statements like that. Every piece of history that has been documented and posted has been taken word for word from Old old books on the yorkie. It has not been made up and has not been invented. WE type it just as it is written. The links to the books are posted on the PYTC website. So is the letter Joan Gordon wrote to me saying that their are other colors of yorkies.
Geesh I guess your saying that Joan and Jan Gordon invented the history of the other colors and wrote them in their book. That they fabricated the part of them being born of several colors on Page 205 of their Book: The Complete Yorkshire Terrier
Author: Joan B. Gordon, Janet E. Bennett
Behind THE COMPLETE YORKSHIRE TERRIER is an authority attested by the greatest kennel record in the breed's history. —
In nearly three decades of devotion to the breed, the authors - twin sisters Joan B Gordon and Janet E Bennett - have finished 169 Yorkshire Terriers to AKC championship, over a hundred of them homebred. —
THE COMPLETE YORKSHIRE TERRIER rewardingly reflects this unmatched experience. For veterans and novices alike, the superb chapters on care and grooming (brimming with special insights and hints) are sure to become the quoted guide for years to come.
Now you tell me from this photo how we have misquoted or invented history from this. |
