The "ONLY" thing that will disqualify a yorkie in the show ring when the new DQ comes out will be about white on a dog can not be on the chest no more than an inch wide on an adult dog or any other white on the head( I can't remember the exact wording). Black and tan dogs will not earn a DQ. I show and do not take in a black and tan adult dog. My Radar is not the perfect gold and I would consider alittle lighter than what it's suppose to be but it's NOT a DQ and yes I will strive for the correct color but as I've stated in another thread structure and movement is more important to me in the show ring the coat is just icing on the cake per say....I wouldn't take in a black adult dog even with correct structure because there are correct color and coated yorkies with great structure and movement. On "MY" litter registration papers there are no boxes to check other than what I posted before so therefore in my mind that is the only accepted colors with AKC. In the YTCA it's a dark steel blue with a shaded tan.
