I don't know why I am going to bother trying to get through to people but I guess I will give it a try.
If you happened to have noticed, purebreds have a breed standard regardless of the breed you are talking aobut. Colour in some breeds can vary, in others it doesn't. There are parameters of what you would expect that purebred to look like.
The Yorkie of today was developed to look like what we have today including the colour parameters. Chocolate, Parti colour and blue born are not inlcuded. Therefore, as in any other purebred, the responsible Yorkie breeder would not try to breed for wrong colours.
I have known one reputable breeder that ended up with one chocolate coloured puppy and went back into the pedigree contacted the kennels involved and they were able to figure out how it happned. Not for the purpose of try to produce it again but for the purpose that it will never happen again. The chocolate coloured puppy was raised with the rest and once he was old enough he went to a lovely pet home of a friend of a friend and is very much loved and cherished as a neutered pet. He was not sold, he was given free of charge to someone that could be trusted to give good care to this dog.
It is not unusual in any breed of dog to end up with a very wrong colour or mismark in the spotted breeds. Rare is always used to describe a wrong colour for the purpose of charging outrageous prices. Any reputable breeder of any breed will not PURPOSELY produce a wrong colour. When it happens, it certainly can go to a nice pet home but not for big bucks because it is 'rare' and that is providing health issues haven't gone along with it which from what I understand is always the case with blue born Yorkies.
The YOrkie was not meant to be a Potpourri of colours. There are other breeds that are and they are not 'rare' colours. |
