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?  |
Well it definitely gives you something to think about.
. Am no expert but with the Cavalier King Charles, they all have different color coats, tricolour, block color, liver color. As far as I no these are all allowed to be registered, and why not, it is the colours that come with the breed. Why can it not be like this with all our different Yorkies.
