There is no difference between breeding back coated yorkies to blue coated yorkies, or breeding another "off colored" yorkie to a traditional colored yorkie. You are still breeding an off color to the standard blue colored yorkie. |
This is quite different then what I had in mind, I think my objection is toward the marketing of their offspring as rare, and unique.
