I'm not familiar with the black lab vs yellow lab or the prejudice or lack of prejudice going on there but I definitely see prejudice against some of our off colored yorkies but see no prejudice against other off colored yorkies (I'm referring to black coated yorkies).
The off standard, black coated yorkies are accepted, they can still be shown (because YTCA didn't put any age restrictions on when coat colors had to turn blue by) and they are being used to breed back to blue coated yorkies to "enhance" these dogs coats?
I'm sure there are breeders (show breeders and others) who are out there with dogs who carry hidden color genes, they just don't know it yet. So it's ok and acceptable to have hidden "color" genes if you don't know, but it's not ok or acceptable to have "color" genes if you do know?
You'd think that the "standards" and DQ rule would be the standard that applies to all yorkies but for some reason, it doesn't seem that way to me?
