This post is not about bad toplines, bad knees, bad rears, etc. The point of starting this post was to find out if it is ethical to dye your dog so it can become a champion and be a good representative of the breed. We should all be breeding for sound dogs. It is very difficult to get everything in one package.
I guess what bothers me is that the YT standard does focus too much on color. I see some beautiful silver blue Yorkies and to me they are perfectly acceptable but not according to the standard. I did not start this post to get anyone upset but just to find out what the general opinion is among show breeders about dying dogs. I guess it is o.k. if you think you have a sound dog. LOL |
