Dear Members,
I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful holiday season which means the New York
specialties are right around the corner. I'm sure many of us are already planning for our trip to
the Big Apple. The show will be held at the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel on Sunday, February
15, 2015. The theme for this year is "New Yorkie!.....New Yorkie!". We have a great panel of
judges with Carole Della Penna judging sweepstakes and Lydia Coleman Hutchinson judging all
the classes. Awards will be presented at the membership meeting. The planning book is on the
website, and the premium list will be out soon. Both the YTCA and the Greater New York club
plan on making the event worth your trip to New York.
Please remember that our Roving National for 2015 will be held June 10-14 in Louisville,
Kentucky at the Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Hotel hosted by the Ohio Valley Yorkshire
Terrier Club of Kentucky. Lin Fryman is the 2015 Roving Show Chair and she will need
members to volunteer to make it a success. There will be three conformation shows, as well as
six companion event trials and plenty of other activities for everybody to have a really great
time!
We are still looking for a venue for our 2016 National Roving Specialty Show. If you are
interested or considering putting in a bid, please let us know as soon as possible.
The offices of Vice President (Vicki Meadows), Secretary (Wendy Doss) and the Board
positions of Cookie Rogan, Helen Scott, and Jennie Wright are up for election this year.
Members of the Nominating Committee are Carole Della Penna, Chair (FL), Janet Jackson
(CA), Jerry Miller (NM), Mary Nehf (IL) and Shirley Petterson (PA). The nominating committee’s
choices will be announced soon and nominations from the floor will be accepted.
Have a great New Year with many wins, and I hope to see you all in New York!
Sincerely,
Bob

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
HEALTH COMMITTEE: Bob reported they need more microchips. Vicki Meadows currently
has 16 microchips in her possession, which she intends to ship to New York along with the
scanner. Matina wants to order box of 25 for 299 dollars from Revival. Meadows made a
motion to allow health committee to order the microchip bundle from Revival. Miller seconded
the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Georgina reported that Matina will bring several of the
Heritage II books to New York which will be for sale to members. Also Matina would like
suggestions for health related topics to go up on the website, her comments were, as there are
many good articles in the Heritage II that are health related, could some of those be used. It was
a collective suggestion that Matina seek permission from the authors of the articles and add
some of these on the YTCA.org website.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
BY-LAWS – Sharon McCadam will be retiring from the committee. New names for
committee discussed and will be contacted. Once in place work can begin on making any
necessary changes or additions to the by-laws, as requested by the membership.
DIRECTORS AWARDS: Two names brought forth for Directors Award recipients, both
names unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS:
Board Members Attending Specialties: The following motion was made by Wright.
I feel that by demanding or implying that board members must attend both specialties each year
we are limiting the number of members that can run for the board. Some members who may
not be able to attend both or either specialty but could be absolutely amazing and useful board
members don't run because of that requirement. Anything that affects the entire membership I
feel should be voted on by the membership. I make a motion that we let the members vote as
to whether they feel all board members must attend both NY and the Roving Specialties. That a
ballot will be sent out to the membership with the next YTCA mailing.
A discussion was held with the pros and cons being discussed by several board members.
Fallon seconded the motion. Voting Yes Fallon, Lambert, Wright. Voting No Owen, Meadows,
Doss, Rogan, Scott. Abstain, Miller. Motion did not pass.
ADJOURNMENT: Wright made a motion to adjourn, motion seconded by Rogan. Voting yes

YTCA FOUNDATION GRANT SUPPORT HISTORY
The Foundation’s primary over all mission is “to support
and promote research into hereditary and other diseases
of Yorkshire Terriers and other breeds of dogs.” Every
year the Board diligently seeks out research being done
that will address the conditions that were identified in the
2006 Health Survey.
Table I below is a summarization of the research the
Foundation has supported through the years. It shows
both the grants that have been supported through
American Kennel Club - Canine Health Foundation (AKC-
CHF) and Morris Animal Foundation (MAF). Table I only
shows the grants our Foundation supported. Additionally,
the Foundation has also supported the Five and Seven Year
Rabies Challenge Fund as well as supporting a veterinary
student at North Carolina State University College of
Veterinary Medicine one year.
~ 18 ~ These are only the grants funded by the YTCAF and do not include non-grant research studies and projects that have also been funded
First shown in Table I is the funding amounts required for each of the
grants listed which has been awarded to the Principal Investigator by CHF
or MAF. Next is shown the amount of the YTCAF’s support for each of the
grants; the amount in the yellow rectangle is for CHF and in the orange
rectangle is for MAF. When a grant is supported, it is supported for the
entire “Project Dates” of that particular grant. Also, please note the
summary in the bottom row shows the total amount of grants the YTCAF is
supporting in each particular year.
It is interesting also to note how many grants have been supported from
the Foundation’s funds and how that money was spent to support the
specific health conditions. To show this breakdown, please review the
following charts which are numbered Chart 1 for Health Condition; and,

~ 19 ~For example, in Chart 1 – 39% of our available funds that supported Liver
Shunt research was 11 grants (Chart 2); 20% of funds for Cancer research
was to support 6 grants; 11% of funds for Rabies Challenge was to support

------ FUTURE -----
As 2014 comes to an end, the Foundation is pleased to have had two
successful auctions and we have sponsored another grant on Liver Shunt
and Liver Disease that looks very promising.
The Foundation Board also has been discussing a grant with a Researcher
that may lead us to finding a genetic marker for Collapsed Trachea. This is
exciting news and we will be providing you with more information on this
in the weeks to come. In the 2006 Health Survey, Collapsed Trachea was
the #1 health concern of Yorkshire Terrier breeders and fanciers and it is
certainly a large concern for many of the other Toy dog breeds as
well. Stay tuned for more information on this in the near future.

~ 21 ~Hear Ye Hear Ye – A New Award For Yorkies
In All The Rings!
The Versatility Award: Yorkshire Terriers are active
and versatile dogs. They were bred to have the skills
and drive to excel in the field, and are happiest when
working closely with their owners. Modern day Yorkies and
their owners use these skills to compete in the many dog
sports available today. To recognize and preserve these traits
and to encourage owners to enjoy them, the YTCA offers the
Versatility Awards, which reward participation in a variety of
dog activities.
The Versatility Award is designed so that the average Yorkie and owner, with some effort, can
earn one. It asks for one title in three different fields, and a total of seven points. As a
conformation title is not required, these awards are open to the pet as well as to the champion.
Earning the Versatility Award demonstrates that the Yorkie and owner have put in a
concentrated amount of time and effort in training as well as showing and trialing. While YTCA
is recognizing and rewarding dog sport activities with the Versatility Award, we also recognize
that there are many Yorkies involved in activities that do not offer titles. We know of one herding
Yorkie, some Frisbee Yorkies and a number of racing Yorkies. The options of activities for the
Yorkshire Terrier is infinite as they are truly a versatile breed.
REQUIREMENTS: YTCA membership of owner or co-owner at the time of application is
required. Versatility Award requires 7 stars in a minimum of three of the categories. Versatility
Excellent Award requires 12 or more stars in a minimum of four of the categories included.
These categories include Conformation, Rally, Obedience, Agility, Coursing, Barn Hunt, Nose
Work, Flyball, Freestyle, Citizenship, Earth Dog, Dock Diving, Trick Dog, Search and Rescue.
Awards will be processed annually awarded at the National Specialty. This award was approved
by the board at their August meeting in St. Louis. The application form and additional details are
available on the YTCA website.
We are working on a National Specialty Versatility Award that will be awarded at each National
Specialty and will cover only that show. We expect to have it ready at the 2015 Louisville, KY
National Specialty. It will be similar to the Spirit Award given in 2014 in St. Louis. We want to
call it the Yorkie Spirit Award!

~ 22 ~~ 23 ~
Yorkies In The Other Rings!!!
Just what are all these Yorkies doing in other rings and activities? The
Companion/Performance Committee has been working on a Versatility Award that will recognize
Yorkie teams that are working in many areas of companion and performance events. With this
in mind and having been asked recently to contribute to a dog magazine that is putting out an
on-line book about Yorkies, we started to check with others on what they are doing with their
Yorkies.
We know about the AKC recognized sports and recognized titling events. There is Agility, Barn
Hunt, Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog, Coursing, Dock Diving, Earth Dog, Fly Ball, Rally,
Obedience, Tracking, and Trick Dog. Yes, you did read that list correctly. Those are all titling
activities that AKC either offers titles in directly or recognized titles offered by organizations
recognized by AKC that can be earned by the Yorkshire Terrier. The only new one from the last
year is Dock Diving. And we know of Yorkies who have either earned titles in each of these or
are working actively on getting titles in them.
But what was surprising was what we found out that Yorkies were also doing in activities that
either don’t offer titles or are activities that don’t include either Terriers or Toys to earn AKC
titles. We were well aware of Yorkies doing Carting, Freestyle Dancing, Frisbee, and Terrier
Racing but we had no idea that we have Yorkies Herding or Weight Pulling. When someone
suggested Herding, I asked if the person really knew of a Yorkie who was really, really herding. I
got a quick reply and a You Tube link. I’ll share this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8ZvkXpdYX0 or try search ‘Herding Yorkies’ and find a
whole list of videos that show different Yorkies herding – mostly sheep. Okay so there are
Yorkies who herd! And I have photos of weight pulling Yorkies. I am sure that I will be getting
more photos and videos showing our amazingly versatile breed. I am waiting for a video of a
gun dog Yorkie with a Yorkie retrieving a duck.
What it means is that are a great many of us who love our breed and love living with our breed
and that we take our dogs and have them play and work with us. We may be working on titles or
we may be just out there doing but our dogs are with us. After all, what can you expect from a
breed that includes the famous Smokey?
By our National Specialty in June we hope to have the Versatility Award approved and ready for
people to apply for and a Versatility National Specialty Award that will be earned at that event.
In the meantime we are working on our rings for the first National Specialty in a few years that
will have Companion/Performance events.
The Companion/Performance Events Committee wants to encourage everyone to participate in
one or all of the many Companion and Performance Events open to our breed. A busy, working
Yorkie is a happy Yorkie. We also want to encourage the many people training and showing
their Yorkies to become members of YTCA and get involved with YTCA.

~ 24 ~Report of AKC delegates meeting
December 13, 2014, Orlando, FL
Mr. James Crowley announced that the Nominating Committee: Mr. Wayne Boyd, Chair,
Connie Clare, Linda Ayres Turner, Gail LaBerge appointed by the Board of Directors at the July
14, 2014 meeting, has nominated the following Delegates as candidates for such vacancies on
the Board of Directors as are to be filled at the next annual meeting of the club on March 10th,
2015. There are three vacancies for the class of 2019. Dr. Carmen L. Battaglia, German
Shepherd dog Club of America; Dr. Thomas Davies, Springfield Kennel Club, Steven D.
Gladstone, Waterloo Kennel Club, Pursuant to Article VIII of the Bylaws of the AKC the
following Delegates have been endorsed in writing by the required number of Delegates as
candidates for the vacancies on the Board of Directors for the Class of 2019, to be filled at the
next annual meeting of the Club on March 10, 2015: Robert A. Amen, Dr. Gregory J. Pavenza,
Nominations were closed.
Mr. Alan Kalter, spoke about breeders who adhere to the motto "Breed to Improve". "This large
family of AKC breeders share the beliefs that guide their breeding program for a lifetime.
Responsible breeders - in their efforts to protect, preserve, and improve their breeds with litter -
embrace the advances in health screening and tests. These breeders apply their understanding
of the science of genetics by utilizing the screening protocols designed to aid in the selection of
a sire and dam. These breeders understand that education is the most powerful tool one can
use to improve a breeding program. So they invest in lifelong learning to keep their commitment
to continuous improvement. These breeders are accountable for their breeding programs,
responsible for the safe environment, and well-being of their dogs”.
The AKC Staff and Board have been working on a program to be launched next year. The
essence of the program is built on the principles embraced by our most experienced breeders
today - health, education, accountability, responsibility, and tradition. The program will allow us
to engage and educate a wide scope of breeders on the best breeding practices, while also
creating an identifiable resource for the general public to find puppies from responsible breeders
who are demonstrating a validated commitment to health testing. Breeders in this program
must agree to the following: They must certify that applicable health screens as recommended
by the Parent Club for that breed are performed on their breeding stock and they must be
prepared to supply proof of such compliance upon request. They must comply with the AKC
Care and Conditions Policy, including inspections by the AKC. They must comply with all
applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding ownership and maintenance
of dogs. They must complete continuing breeder education courses provided or approved
by the AKC on an annual basis. Additionally, under this program, the AKC is creating the best
free of charge online resource for breeder education in the world. This resource
will continue to grow in depth and breadth, serving the needs of all breeders .AKC intends to do
all that it can to support those breeders who share our commitment and are willing to accept the
responsibility of continuous improvement for the good of all dogs."
Mr. Sprung announced that last November the AKC intended to reduce their amount of rental
space currently utilized in the North Caroline facility. Beginning next year, most of the
registration and customer service departments, consisting of about 40 people, will begin working
from their homes.
There is a proposed amendment to Chapter 11, Section 1, Dog Show Entries, Conditions
Affecting Eligibility of the Rules Applying to Dog Shows, would change the timeframe at which
~ 25 ~the limited registration must be removed for a dog to compete in a breed competition. Currently,
the limited designation must be removed prior to the closing date. This amendment would make
it the day of the show rather than the date of the closing date, when the dog would have to have
a full registration to compete. This amendment was brought forward by the Dog Show Rules
Committee. It will be published in two issues of the online AKC Gazette, and delegates will be
asked to vote on it at the March 2015 meeting
The following changes to Rules Applying to Dog Shows Chapter 2, Sections 2 - 16 Territories
(were voted unanimously). changes in parenthesis ( ).

each of its shows.)
(A club may continue to be approved to hold a show in another club's territory within the 90 days
period referenced above, if the written consent is obtained from the club assigned to that

American Kennel Club at least EIGHTEEN weeks before the closing date for entries of the
show. This application will be referred to the Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club

~ 35 ~Official Standard of the Yorkshire Terrier
General Appearance
That of a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the
end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of body. The body is neat, compact and well
proportioned. The dog's high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self
importance.
Head
Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither
undershot nor overshot and teeth sound. Either scissors bite or level bite is acceptable. The nose is black. Eyes are
medium in size and not too prominent; dark in color and sparkling with a sharp, intelligent expression. Eye rims are
dark. Ears are small, V-shaped, carried erect and set not too far apart.
Body
Well proportioned and very compact. The back is rather short, the back line level, with height at shoulder the same
as at the rump.
Legs and Feet
Forelegs should be straight, elbows neither in nor out. Hind legs straight when viewed from behind, but stifles are
moderately bent when viewed from the sides. Feet are round with black toenails. Dew claws, if any, are generally
removed from the hind legs. Dew claws on the forelegs may be removed.
Tail
Docked to a medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back.
Coat
Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the
body is moderately long and perfectly straight (not wavy). It may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of
movement and a neater appearance, if desired. The fall on the head is long, tied with one bow in center of head or
parted in the middle and tied with two bows. Hair on muzzle is very long. Hair should be trimmed short on tips of
ears and may be trimmed on feet to give them a neat appearance.
Colors
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the
tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in
adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: BLUE: Is a dark steel blue, not a silver blue and not
mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. TAN: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still
lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
Color on Body
The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of
tail.
Head fall
A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan
color should not extend down on back of neck.
Chest and Legs
A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.
Weight
Must not exceed seven pounds.
Disqualification
Any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan as described above. Any white markings other than
a small white spot on the forechest that does not exceed 1 inch at its longest dimension.

Code of Ethics
PREFACE
As a member of the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, inc., I
agree to uphold the principles of the Club's Constitution,
Bylaws, Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct and will protect
the interests of the Yorkshire Terrier in the manner reflecting
credit to myself, the Breed, and the Club. I agree to comply
with all AKC Rules and regulations.
While understanding that the circumstances facing each
individual member are different, the Codes set forth a
standard of canine husbandry all Club members should
strive to achieve.
The code is intended to provide each member fundamental
behavior principles which will guide the Club, the Yorkshire
Terrier breed and each member well in nearly all situations.

potential clients any serious or disabling hereditary defects, including the
reasonable possibility of such defects. Such health defects shall be stated in
writing.
7) A member shall not defame another member or the YTCA nor seek to impair a
member's or the YTCA's reputation, provided however, a member shall report any
serious situation, created by another member, that is detrimental to the breed or is
inconsistent with these principles. This report should be in writing and sent to the
Club Secretary.
8) A member's advertising: -shall be professional in appearance and location; -may
refer to YTCA membership but may not misuse YTCA membership to attempt to

intent, as well as their ability and interest in providing a safe, adequate, loving
environment and a long term relationship with a puppy or adult dog.
6) All puppies and dogs offered for sale will be sold with written sales agreements to
include clear terms and conditions and be signed by the seller and buyer. The
contract will request that the seller be contacted in the event that at any time the
owner is unable to keep the dog, it will be the obligation of the seller to assist in
the placement of the dog in question.
7) Purchasers will be required to neuter/spay all puppies sold as pets. If specified in
the written sales contract, the seller will promptly release limited registration
forms upon receipt of a veterinarian's certification of such spaying or neutering.

includes dogs and bitches with Q Registration in their pedigrees, and dogs and
bitches of any color, or combination of colors not specified in the standard.
Members will not sell dogs of such colors as exotic or rare.
11) Animals recently exposed to the risks of infectious diseases and bitches with
nursing whelp will not be exhibited.
