Some of these judges are putting waaaaaaaay too much emphasis on color shades and dont even look at structure and conformation. This is a toy terrier first and foremost, not a rag doll that can grow gorgeous silk hair. Some of these judges are forgetting the history and developement of this breed. Did all their knowledge of this breed suddenly fly out the window because of this new DQ in the standard? I think some are forgetting how long it takes to grow a beautiful adult coat by DQing at only 12 months of age. Give me great movement, dead level toplines and then top it off with gorgeous shaded blue and tan silk. |
