I would voice my opinion/concerns to a show breeder/exhibitor of any kind not just someone that shows a chocolate. I only commented when I saw others comment towards the standard. If all this person got was congratulations I would have kept my big mouth shut LOL :) If someone wants a title on a yorkie that is not within the standard they should be trying obedience or agility because color doesn't matter. I get just as much frustrated with a judge who doesn't judge within the standard the way it is written but with AKC rules I can't approach a judge and give my opinion in fear of a bench committee being called so therefore all I can do is find the AKC rep and voice my concerns that way. This is however, a public fourm and I will always try and keep my comments in a positive light. Education is of the utmost importance and if I don't at least try then I haven't done my job :)

She recieved 2nd because the judge thought that the dog was deserving of first but couldnt give her first because of the color fault...yes it does set a precedent...she is working to set a standard with UKC for this coloring..

The thing about this that upsets me most is that I am assuming from reading the owners posts is that she will be breeding this dog now. This is wrong on so many levels, but most importantly for the future and to maintain the integrity of the yorkshire terrier breed.
I am not putting your little dog down, I just cannot wrap my mind around what exactly you think needs to be reproduced. Enjoy your pet but leave breeding the yorkie to the people who will continue to strive to better the breed.

I spent several years getting this line and another getting ch. lines in with them Refurbishing this almost extinct line because people in The big shows say they arent worthy. Well They are mine I feel they are worthy and anyone who doesnt can keep there opinions to there selves im not a back yard breeder im a loveing person who cared enough to stop the mutalation of a breed man created to start with. which most dogs are mutations of some sorts using this and that the actual standard of a yorkie is a mutation of several breeds and the red gene is in your precious black and golds as well its just not dominate in them. In my line it is. I only have two females both are chocolate and i have produced one litter of chocolates in ten years so say what you want you dont know me or anything about the chocolate line or you and obviously dont care about mutalation of a breed. whether recognized by a club or just a human they deserve recognition breeders for show mixing breeds is what caused it so who are you to say i did something wrong? if you have ever bread you dog does that make you a back yard breeder or wait do you have a large kennel of 40 dogs like alot of you. Dont judge me

It is very good that you were here to defend yourself as one day a few months back a dozen or so YT ladies had fun time at my expence. I love all Yorkies but esp. the Chocolates. One of the girls in fact e-mailed me and then quoted what I had said on here but not quoting what she had wrote me. I was surfing and found the awful things that were being said about me and like I said I was not even here to defend my self. I have beautiful, healthy Yorkies and a refrence list all over the US. I am not able to show my dogs at this time as I have 3 human children that are all in numerous activities but my goal is to show all of my beautiful babies, even Chocolates if allowed, and I hope that they are allowed and I think that they will be. I just never knew people felt this way about them until I recieved my first hate e-mail and it was from someone on YT. (and she was bragging about it) After that several others chimed in and started in that I must be a byb and a puppy mill, I can assure all of them I am neither. Byb's and puppy mills don't invite people to thier homes to see thier dogs.

Congrats!!!!:thumbup: :bravo:
I will try to get a recent pic. of my Chocolate if you would care to see her. Good luck and I hope people just learn to love everybody and be nice.
