So if the mix is dilute enough would Mars show a purebred? Dilute meaning the mix occured many generations ago but that gene to create the colour pattern is still carried forward.
I still have no idea why anyone would purposely set out to wreck a breed that is so not the breed standard.
There are wrong colours in other breeds that will not ever be recognized by the parent club. Black and white German Shorhairs pointers for example are a fault and are not recognized nor bred for. They are sold for pet if one turns up.
Why the yorkie ended up being targeted to try to destroy the breed is beyond my understanding.

Very well Said Lorraine!
