Humans wrote the standards but humans haven't been able to weed out all the recessive genes that our traditional colored AKC yorkies still harbor. Breeding to the strict standards for many, is as important as Breeding these (now allowed to be registered) recessive gene "crop outs" are to others.
There are many more incorrect blue and tan yorkies in the world then there are off colored yorkies and Breeders of off colors, should strive to find the best quality, colored and color carriers so they can produce as close to conformational and coat texture standards as possible.
