Uninformed of what? Someones opinion? Or actual facts? There are many breeders that put just as much time, effort, care, and money, into their off-standard or *heaven forbid* mixed breed dogs, and they are not expected to get anything in return for it because it is not what is in someones opinion (because even the YTCA is a lot of opinion)? If someone is searching for a specific dog breed, or mix of breeds, and they find it and purchase it because it is what they desire, are you saying they are being taken advantage uf because no one had a chance to share their opinion about off-standard or a non-purebred dog?
I guess I am confused about what someone might be uninformed about.
I do agree that many people are taken advantage of by misleading (mostly internet websites) advertising on yorkies and other small dogs, and asking an astronomical amount of money when you could get the same result (or better) by finding a local breeder. I can totally understand how someone in that situation may be uninformed. OR when someone claims to have a "tiny teacup" litter that is for sale. But I think the whole color standard is such an absolute rediculous thing to cause such a uproar about.
