many breeds have been made standard by misbreeding or genetic changes this is fact of life get over yourself with your one of a kind standard forever it will change thats life |
If you know the standard then why in the world breed Chocolate colour? That makes no sense whatsoever as it is such a wrong colour. If they occur in a litter, no one said they don't deserve a good life, they just should never be used for breeding. The Breed Standard for any purebred dog is what describes what it should look like. A straight topline is part of the breed standard for the Yorkie, it isn't for a Whippet nor for a Silkie Terrier. A Silkie is supposed to have a dip in the topline. Along with that, there are many breeds with some acceptable colours and some are very tight about what colour is acceptable. The Yorkie is one of those breeds that other colours are not acceptable. I have yet to see a Bichon anything but white same with maltese.
If you want to ignore a breed standard, breed maltipoos, no one cares what colour they come out as.
