Black coated yorkies, light blue or too dark of blue coated yorkies, yorkies who have dark hairs mixed in their tan coloring - they are all considered to be "not to standard." It's not just parti, chocolate or golden breeders who own and/or breed that have "non-standard" colors, it's any color other than steel blue and tan yorkies.
Just as you have traditional colored yorkie breeders who scam the public, you will also find golden, parti and chocolate breeders who are out to make a quick buck and to try to capitalize on the "rare" colored dog. To them, it doesn't matter how they get the color - a scammer is a scammer no matter how you look at it; no matter what colored yorkie they are trying to sell. |
You are right about that...there are many Yorkies that are not being bred to standard, not just the parti/golden/chocolate ones. However, that wasn't what the OP started this thread about...she asked about, so it's pretty irrelevant. I don't think that you can exactly lump them all into one category and consider them "the same" as you have done here. You have to take many factors into consideration and consider the end result.
