If I'm not mistaken, these are the only 4 choices listed on the Yorkie AKC puppy registration papers, aren't they?
Because the AKC recognizes these 4 colors in Yorkies - blue & tan, black & tan, blue & gold, and black & gold - these colors are not faulted in show dogs. And this is regardless of what the "standard" says. AKC "standards" are usually written by the parent club, but the AKC will modify them as they deem fit. |
Your last paragraph states: "Because the AKC recognizes these 4 colors in Yorkies - blue & tan, black & tan, blue & gold, and black & gold - these colors are not faulted in show dogs. And this is regardless of what the "standard" says." If this is accurate, than many of the off colored Yorkies may some day, be able to show?
The way YTCA stands now, the ONLY accepted color is Blue and Tan.
That's the standard color and any other color is considered "off color". If the "off colored black and tan, black and gold and blue and gold dogs are still allowed to enter the show ring and win their champion status (because AKC recognizes them), why can't a parti or chocolate be able to show as well?
AKC recognizes the 4 colors that you mentioned but they also recognize and acknowledge Parti color, you just have to list it in the markings section and send AKC color photos of your dog. My yorkie is AKC registered as a Black and Tan Parti (but he's turning blue, so I guess I'll have to do a color change).
So who DOES dictate the rules for showing, AKC or YTCA? If it is YTCA, than No color but Blue and Tan should be showing according to the rules? Right?
