I have a quick question about color faults. In the AKC standard for the Yorkshire Terrier, it states, "There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan." I often see pictures of dogs that are being shown that have black hair mingled in their top knot. Is that not a fault? I guess I must be confused somehow..
This is what I mean. This puppy is not a show dog, but has the black hair mingled in the top knot. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/att...4&d=1187831330 - AMD
This is just a puppy and still going through the change at this time. I know this pup and breeder and what a beautilful pup here in this photo.

You do have to know the standard to evaluate your dogs. But as stated before - there is not perfect yorkie. You have to judge the whole dog. I would rather have a yorkie with a sooty head than bad bone structure.
