I also heard a while back where a judge asked an exhibitor if their dog was dyed, which it was not. So I am wondering if a yorkie has been enhanced to look darker than it really it will a judge DQ that dog if he thinks it has been enhanced and have any of you ever been questioned by a judge about the color of your dog? |
If a judge dq's a dog for being dyed it is a EX for a foreign substance in the coat and leads to a suspension from AKC. I can tell you that I believe that there was at least 1 dog being shown that I could tell was dyed and the judge did not DQ. I may be wrong, but it looked dyed to me. In my opinion the judge knows the circumstances of the dyed dq and was being nice by not dqing...
