Structure and movement is more important in the ring than someone coloring a dog, crippled rears bad fronts, bad toplines...that is the overall picture why can't you see what is more important and go after that with a complaint? That's the make up of a dog structurely and what is produced! You can say it's fancy rationalizing but that is where the priority should lie and what should be more focused on. Walk a mile in my shoes in the show ring and see what I see and maybe then you would agree. Maybe you won't but that's ok 
Wrong is wrong no matter how you look at it but why focus on something so trival when there is more important and more serious things to worry about... |
With all this being said why was it so important for the ytca to add the color DQ to their standard? Would it not be more important to DQ bad patellas, bad bites, bad rear ends, etc? How many yorkshire terriers have you seen with the champion in front of their name with bad knees, bad bites, liver shunt throwers, etc? MANY! One day people will realize just because a dog has champion in front of their name does not mean they are an excellent healthy example of the breed. People will also realize one day just because someone belongs to the ytca does not make them a honest breeder with morals.
