The point is that the white is a major fault and there is a handful of parti breeders that don't want accept that. There are many breeds that have fault colors that can't be shown. Why should the YTCA make the parti yorkie an exception when the YTCA feels they do not meet the standard? I don't feel it is necessary for the YTCA to call them designer dogs, parti are just yorkies with a color fault. How the parti came about is debatable.
As for AKC being satisfied, as I explained earlier, it does not take much to satisfy AKC. It would be quite easy for someone to slip in another breed into the yorkie gene pool and not get caught.
It really does not matter to me one way or another if the parti yorkie is allowed in the show ring. The majority of the parti yorkies I have seen pictures of do not meet the standard in many other ways besides color. I suppose that is why some want to bring in champion bloodline yorkies that have the proper structure and coat texture. | What those of you who insist that there was another breed accidently mixed in, fail to remember, is that the parti color was only showing up in the show lines.
Lines from very reputable exhibitor/breeders, those who only bred yorkies, those who did not risk accidental breedings, those who would not buy breeding stock from the byb.
They were in the Wildweir lines, the Nikko lines, the Durrer lines and many more. I doubt that any of those breeders would have risked an accidental breeding. |
