Because they are still being used to acheive a dog that does meet the required standards. The darker colored Yorkies are implemented in an attempt to add to a line and enhance the color, but with the end goal still being to achieve the standard blue/gold.
That is not what the off-colors are being used for--they are being bred to produce more off-color dogs, not standard blue/gold.
As far as why are they still being allowed to show...I don't have an answer for you on that one. But I DO understand and get your point there...really.

I don't get what you are looking for and what you mean by "satisfactorily."
The question has been answered...Was the answer unclear? Was it not the one you were looking for? Not the information you are looking for? What more information do you need for it to be "answered satisfactorily." Please don't misunderstand my asking that...I think maybe we are just not on the same page in regards to each others train of thought here...
And again, I really DO understand and respect your points and appreciate the fact that you've taken the time to discuss and try to understand those of others.
