Other than the dog being off color according to the YTCA's show standards, why should the dog be culled for breeding?

If this dog came out of 2 AKC registered traditional colored yorkies, why should it be culled but it's entire line of previous and future descendants not be culled? The gene came from somewhere, and both mom and dad had to be carriers despite their blue and tan coat coloring.

Just because a yorkie is blue and tan, does not mean it's any more pure than a chocolate yorkie ... it just means that any unknown recessive genes haven't surfaced yet.
