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.

Very true and those same people wouldn't listen if you tried to tell them anyway.
