If parti mix Skyes were being exploited like the YOrkie parti breeders are doing, you can bet your boots and DQ would be in effect. But they would do it before the horse got out of the barn.
It is a blessing that the Skye breed is un-popular. Most people have never even seen one in person, only in pictures. | I was very lucky this year at Crufts, there sat at the end of the row, a quiet little stand, not many around bothered to look, but wow they took my eye. The most beautiful silky soft long coated, regal and so very very calm serene dogs. Two prick eared, one dropped all coloured Grey/Grizzle. They are bigger then you think, in as much as weight and length, but short little legs. They are breeding, but only in limited numbers. I hope they don't become extinct. The breed historian is Sine Threlfall, Eilean a Cheo Kennels, Ardvasar, Isle of Skye, IV45 8RU, if anyone is interested in finding out their true history.:aimeeyork |
