If I'm not mistaken Mr. Usherwood DQ'ed a young adult that hadn't cleared yet in the gold or maybe it was that the gold was white and hadn't turned that shaded gold yet...and I believe the dog wasn't that light....and it's 5 years that we have to stay with this standard before it can be reconsidered not 7
