Thats because there arent any, therefore no need for the DQ in the standard. The only thing that has kept the Skye almost true to the original is that 1:its not a popular breed, 2: the STCA and its members keep an ultra tight rein on these beautiful dogs, 3: extremely limited breeding goes on.
If parti mix Skyes were being exploited like the YOrkie parti breeders are doing, you can bet your boots and DQ would be in effect. But they would do it before the horse got out of the barn.
It is a blessing that the Skye breed is un-popular. Most people have never even seen one in person, only in pictures.
