Well Shannette, it's good that you came to clarified what yorkiediva started. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself in the ring and congratulations to you and your girl!

I still don't like the fact that she left you here to do this all on your own. Her last post was at 5:47 (central time) yet her last activity time on the forum was 7:54 (central time). It's obvious to me that she was watching this thread but not backing you up. I don't like people that start something then sit back and watch as things get heated up.

Well, whatever you do, good luck!:thumbup:

I met the lady i got my girl from one time dont know her how she thinks or what she does or doesnt do. i just came in cause kelly said people wanted to talk to me so i signed on and have been taking alot of grief for trying something new that didnt hurt anyone and had no idea why

Ok all this drama on these threads really needs to stop yes we all have a right to our own opinion but we also have the right to say them in a respectable and educational way with class and TACT.... with that being said i feel that this is what everyone is trying to get across...

1. Yorkies have a standard set by the YTCA and AKC the standard is to protect and improve the breed and show breeders strive to better the breed by keeping to the standard set

2. Other breeder would like the chocolate, parti and other colors recognized so they could show and breed freely

MPO....... I don't think that chocolates should be able to be show as a yorkie if they are to be recognized it should be their own breed like the Biewer has done. Chocolates and other colors are not the standard for this breed. Yes they are beautiful yes they are wonderful pets and maybe show quality in their own set catagory.

You can't compare a chocolate or anyother color against the standard of what a yorkie is supposed to be so why would you want to have them in the same catagory with them?? Why not set out to make their own place?

I am not trying to start a war nor am i taking sides

So you make a statement about your goals and what you are trying to achieve, but you can't elaborate on it or explain it because you 'have no idea really.' Well THAT clears things up...lol.:p I've had days like that too, don't feel bad. I think you may stand a chance at being taken more seriously if you try to collect and organize your thoughts first before going on a mission to try and change things and prove everyone wrong.

I don't think that anyone is upset with you for trying something new and having fun--I just think that some people picked up on things not sounding just right with how you presented them, took it upon themselves to question it with a UKC official, and posted their findings so that EVERYONE could be informed. What was the harm in that? The more correct info we have, the more we all learn, right?:)

She likely did not excuse if from the ring because it is not considered a DQ yet although I did see a judge last year excuse a brindle Pug from the ring here in Canada for wrong colour although brindle in PUgs is not yet a DQ but the Pug Club of Canada is in the process of closing that door so brindle will be a dq. The judge was an FCI judge from Basil a very experience well known judge. It is under the FCI that Europe UK and South America and I believe Mexico Kennel Clubs operate.
I have my sincere doubts it was knowlegable judges that would have withheld a ribbon and then said it was indeed a great Yorkie. They may have said in structure in other points it was fine but the colour is a severe fault enough of one to withhold a ribbon.
In the show world withholding a ribbon is considered to be a way of saying the dog should not be in the ring.
SOrry but that is the way it is if you know the show world which I keep telling people if you are going to breed, be part of it and know your breed.

As Brooklynn said no bashing just educating.

What was said is that you were used for advertisement.
