Could someone please honestly respond to my question? |
I understand your frustration to feeling like your question(s) hasn't recieved a strait answer.
I would think the reason the off-color and the black/gold recieve a different reception is because it was only very recently that these colors were deemed 'unacceptable.' Until very recently they were considered standard. You have long standing pedigrees that have these colors variations heavily throughout. They can still be integrated into breedings to bring out desired richness in color and to correct colors that have strayed in an effort to achieve that perfect, standard that is accepted. I would think that as breedings progress, now that they are NOT accepted colors, you will see them being used less and less.
On the other hand, the partis, chocs, goldens, have NEVER been accepted colors. They can not be integrated back into breedings to try to acheive the standard.
At least, that is my take on why...just one opinion of many, I'm sure...
