Dyeing a yorkie is wrong but I wouldn't say it's unethical at least it's not a health issue or a crippled rear, bad front and bad top line. I'd rather see a dyed yorkie in the ring vs. one with a crippled rear like I see alot in the ring LOL...it's like taking a yorkie that is oversized or ears out to the side of it's head, bad bites, none of that should be taken in the ring and I see that all the time. If I'm beat by a dyed yorkie I wouldn't think twice but if I get beat by a dog with a bad top line or a crippled rear then I have a problem LOL. It's all wrong but it happens and unfornuately it's gonna continue.
