Does anyone know why they're so adamant against widening the standard for the Yorkshire terrier? What's wrong with having more than one standard color? Is there a historical reason behind the blue and tan coat, other than "that's the way it's always been"...?
I'm just curious. I'm considering a Biewer Yorkshire terrier in the future at some point. I think they're gorgeous little dogs. |
Based on various readings I've done these are considered genetic defects that can lead to health issues ....some of the info I came across...
