Maybe thas how i feel about the chocs as well.
OP. I am sorry you jumped the gun on celebrating you win. Its not hard to lose when your the only one there. I do feel that you and your crew of posters have an up hill battle and a lot of hard work to do to bring a standard to this breed.
I have never once read about any of those wishing to specialize in breeding chocolate Yorkies doing any DNA testing to make sure that they are breeding the healthiest pups and to me that is just the tip of the Iceburg if what needs to be done.
To me a Yorkie is a Yorkie no matter what the color, but there is a standard set in place for a reason. I feel stepping into a ring was a bad thing to do and I personally would have researched more on the YTCA standard, the Biewer breeding program and other stuff before I went placing my dogs in shows. IF you want to be the first or bring about change you need to do it in a positive manor that compels you to move forward.
To me Placing your baby in the show as well as posting the winning of the show here produced the same result, which is no forward movement on your breeding program.
The best thing you can do is take what people have said here that is factual and learn from it. Do what you have to do to ensure that your chocolate breeding program is healthy and done with love and not just to make money. Developing a standard for chocolate Yorkies that is widely accepted is going to take time and hard work.
