It's a fault based on what YTCA and the show world have decided. The standard that is so preached at us that have chosen to breed "off colors", was created by a group of people.....this standard does not change genetics. You do realize that this "standard" has changed throughout the years,right?? Why was that okay then but not now? Why is okay that the Yorkie is nothing like how the breed originated....because a group have now defined what THEY say the Yorkie should be?
I am a future breeder of the parti color and I will always be a person that is reputable. I, however, do not see this color as a fault....I see it as genetics at it's finest.
