Why
Summit?
The
dictionary defines the word Summit
as “The
highest level or degree that can be attained.”And
so it is with our delightfully precious Yorkshire Terrier puppies. All
Summit Yorkies are sired from Champion Bloodlines to assure the finest
examples of this wonderful breed. A Summit Yorkie is a contented,
spirited, playful package of love that will add immeasurable pleasure to
your life.
"Parti
Central” – Where it all began Breeder
Alex Gesmundo (founder and owner of Summit Yorkies) is credited with
breeding the first fully AKC registered and recognized “Parti-Color Yorkshire
Terrier.” Due to her efforts, now you too can own the most recent (and
highly sought after) official member of the Yorkshire Terrier family,
direct from the person responsible for the Parti Color’s acceptance by
the American Kennel Club!
Selecting
your Parti-Colored Yorkie When
selecting a Parti-Colored Yorkshire Terrier, there are four
key areas of consideration on which to focus:
1.Color
2.Conformation
to the breed standard
3.Coat
4.Character The
key characteristics to each area are as follows
COLOR:Check
for consistency in markings, paying particular attention to the masking of
the eyes in black and tan. White flowing coats, offset by black
saddles with occasional black spots.Eyelids
and nose properly pigmented
CONFORMATION
TO BREED: Small,
perfectly proportioned and fully symmetrical heads, framed by petite but
perky, erect ears.Shimmering,
effervescent eyes complement their perfect bite, completing the facial
presentation of our little Parti-angels and can only be attained here at
the Summit using the talent of our Breeder, Alex. Top lines on all Summit
Parti-Colored Yorkies are level, supported by perfectly set legs. Properly
carried tails complete the luxurious appearance of this, the latest
chapter of the storied history of Yorkshire Terriers. Each loving example
of Parti-perfection weighs in the four-to-six pound range.
COAT: All
Summit Parti-Colored Yorkies enjoy a luxurious coat of fine, silky hair as
if spun from the looms of angels. The base color is pristine white, as if
taken from the purest snow. The luxurious white coat is counterbalanced
with a black saddle and/or spots.
CHARACTER: Summit
Parti-Colored Yorkies each have their own unique character while sharing
even temperaments. Curiously mischievous by nature, Summit Parti-Colored
Yorkies are full of personality, with a zest for life unmatched anywhere.
Like people, you won’t find two that are exactly the same in character,
yet they all make wonderful pets for both children and adults alike. Don’t
let their petite size and delicate features mislead you: They make
wonderful watchdogs; alert and “on duty” at all times. They are
amongst the most intelligent dogs you will find anywhere and their feisty
spirit can keep would-be intruders many times their size at bay.
