Mardelin, I most always enjoy your posts and you give some of the most knowledgeable information available on this forum. But, you surely must agree with me, that breeding for these exotic colors does not make someone not a reputable breeder. As we both know, there are many non-reputable breeders that breed both "traditional (boy do I ever hate that term being used by many Yorkie breeders these days)" and the new exotic colors. Although I do become disgusted by some of the colors breeders are claiming are chocolate or golden, when the puppies are truly only red or brindle or something they mixed up to get something that I want to say "what the heck is that and what the heck is it mixed with?"
