1996
The goal to publish the Swiss Yorkshire Terrier Club on the Internet is being reached. Achieving this goal, we participate fewer times on exhibitions. All the same, several times we earn success within the scope of the European Dogsport Union (EHU). Constantly searching for new blood lines and new breeding males, Rolf Wirth writes about 80 web pages in his free time for the Swiss Yorkshire Terrier Club. He does that without any payment, in an honorary capacity. But our breed, “D’ELITE D’OR” and “PANORAMA” are present on the Internet as well and are well received internationally, which is reflected in the many guestbook entries. The Swiss Yorkshire Terrier Club was the first Yorkshire Terrier Club worldwide on the Internet and conveys to all friends of dogs its ideology of pedigree dog breeding in the sense of preventing cruelty to animals and in a legal sense as well.

Some bigwigs in some Dogsport unions may dictate their regulations being intent on representing their own personal advantages. The leadership of these people often even degenerates into spoon-feeding the members. In the Internet, there is no censorship an there are no club’s regulations. This fact results in a natural, mutual acknowledgment and respect among the webmasters of Yorkshire Terrier web pages as well as all friends of Yorkshire Terriers, which is being regarded as a great advantage by us.

We welcome the possibility to support worldwide, international and union-independent breeding community consisting of all friends of dogs. We do this with a sense of preventing cruelty to animals.

At this place we would like to say thanks to all those people who sent us documents, introducing and recommending their Yorkies to us for breeding. Out of these contacts, some resulted in a good offspring of our Yorkies.
