Among pet lovers, the desire to rear one, like dogs, is impeded by their sense of cleanliness. Truly, some pets are irritating because of their unavoidable activity to generate mess. Some dogs also do not appear appealing and clean physically. Apart from that, some dogs do not inspire those who have a high sense of cleanliness.

A White Yorkie, however, is different. Notably, Yorkie dogs are created small and light. By their size, it is easy to handle them. Yorkie can easily be bathed. Yorkie also have long yet straight and silky fur. Their fur even grows stronger and silkier as they grow old. Such feature is perfect for a White Yorkie. Imagining a Yorkie with pure white silky, straight and long hair will make the dog more lovable. More importantly, white yorkie appears very clean and pure.

For sensitive people interested in rearing a pet, White Yorkie is the best choice to try. Aside from the cuteness of the dog, it is also cuddly that will make one always eager to play with the pet. Having the cute and cuddly dog white will even make the pet lover exert more effort in making the dog looks even cleaner. These will eventually build friendship between the two. Rearing a white yorkie will also help a sensitive pet owner from irritation from mess. This is because mess and unwanted spot can be seen immediately and cleaned easily.

Cuddling with White Yorkie is definitely a quality time. One can freely hug and carry white Yorkie everywhere without fears of being dirtied. It also incites inspiration for some undecided of rearing a pet. Furthermore, it attracts attention because of the beauty and cleanliness obviously displayed by White Yorkie. Having White Yorkie really brings more than luck.

Pets can be treated as humans. Dogs have heart too. But compared to human, dogs always keeps a heart as pure as white. Though humans can have pure heart, they cannot resist temptations and cloud their heart with hatred and envy. But dogs are different. A mere touch of their fur already means a lot for them. They show their love by being loyal and obedient. Dogs can also play and cuddle with their masters. They show skills to entertain people around them. More importantly, they give back the love to their masters without anything in return. Dogs can be trusted. They also know several things that please their masters. And, they endeavor everything just to make their master smile. Like other dogs, Yorkie have a heart as pure as white.

Parti Yorkie, pure Yorkie? So what?

What is all this fuss about the right and wrong Yorkie? Sure enough politics even covers our innocent dogs. White Yorkies, the cute little things, treated as something substandard.

It’s just funny. I have looked at different websites, some dog books and reference materials and somehow I’m still a bit dizzy about the white Yorkie.

A lot of breeders say that a specific type of White Yorkie, the part yorkie, has been recognized by the AKC for about five to six years. However, some that may be called extremists post information that the White Yorkie is a substandard breed and nothing but a common mongrel. I have read in a website that a group of Parti Yorkies have been DNA tested for authenticity as a purebred Yorkie. “…42 times DNA’d” somewhere and then that document stated that after all the DNA testing, the White Yorkie has been counted as recognized and registered. Offspring of AKC registered CH Rolls Royce Ashley and Rolls Royce Corniche have proven documentation for AKC registration as Parti Yorkies.

I have tried to verify with the AKC trying desperately to find some sort of document that recognizes the White Yorkie. Maybe I haven’t found it yet, or maybe there is none. The White Yorkie is not even on their breeds list nor on the reserve stock. With the YCTA, I read that they have changed the breed standard to recognize that a small white strip of white no longer than an inch is acceptable and no more than that.

I’m more puzzled now than when I was when I first started researching for fun. If the dog gods were watching this exchange of documentation, they should have bitten these people from different organizations. A dog, is a dog is a dog regardless of the breed, mixed genes and politics.

I’ve taken care of pure breds for some years now. I remember, one time, one of my mixed breed males managed to escape the cage and scurry outside. Together with friends, we looked for the dog fearing it might have been caught by the pound, have gotten lost or might have ended up in someone’s plate. We looked for hours and hours until we gave up. I still looked around for a few more hours then finally found him or maybe he found me. He ran to me like a lost child who just located a parent.

I mean, Pure bred or not, I still give the same love, attention, medical benefits (no pun intended) and whatever I can to any dog that is under my supervision. What kind of person will give a half bred mutt lesser attention compared to other pure breed dogs.

Despite all the controversy with the White Yorkie, it’s still a cute and beautiful breed that gives unconditional love to the owner every single time. It’s unfair for white Yorkies and all the other half breeds in the world. Good thing they can’t read.

White Yorkies are not likely full bred

The great white shark… err; the great white Yorkie controversy. Questions are left unanswered about the origin of the white Yorkie. Those who use the term “white yorkie” may be referring to any dog with yorkshire terrier ancestry that has white hair, usually more than one inch. However, there is a more specific category of white yorkie, known as the parti Yorkie.

As we all know, the main course of living for all nationalities was agriculture. When the dawn of the Industrial revolution came about, small British communities made home base around coal mines, mills and factories. People from as far as Scotland were starting their own little communities. They brought their dogs along with them as they sought after work. Amongst the dog breeds were (which I think are now extinct) are the Clydesdale and Paisley Terriers. These are what we would call now members of the working group and much larger than this era’s Yorkies. Unlike today, those dogs were used for catching rats and other vermin that proved destructive at the time.

These terriers brought from different areas and were crossed with other terriers. Good probabilities of crossing to the English Black and Tan toy terriers, Maltese Terrier, the Skye terrier (light/white colored), West Highland white terrier (white/light colored) are believed to have occurred. Of course there were no records nor pedigrees of all the attempts and successful crosses but the old time breeders were clear about what they wanted. There was no scientific way at that time of recording. Some believe that since the breed was purposely for rat and vermin killing that required some elemental camouflage, thus the White Yorkies that resulted were considered failures in accordance to the need for camouflage.

There is always reason to believe that even if the White Yorkies might have been labeled as failures, they still kept breeding. In addition, the recessive gene in these successful attempts of breeding was passed down to further generations. Even AKC Standard Yorkies have a possibility of carrying this gene so let’s not be surprised if a few pop up every now and then. There have been proven claims (http://www.sparkleofglamour.com/Hollywood_ped.htm) that although CH Nikko’s Rolls Royce Corniche was colored Blue and Tan, he produced White Yorkie Offspring.

What is mostly confusing is that some groups claim that the White and/or Parti Yorkie has already been accepted by the AKC but another websitehttp://www.ytca.org/mainview.htm clearly disqualifies Parti color Yorkies. For me, this is the Ultimate White Yorkie Controversy. But that is another story.
