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. |
that is just standard for your shows not for every dog in the world all dogs dont have to be show dogs
