Donna just how many do you think that are really breeding to the
true dark steel blue and tan standard ?
My guess would be somewhere around 10-20 %.
Most breeders are not going to discard a nice soft black or light blue if they have great pedigrees, health and meet the standard in every other way except for color.
We know the only way light blues can meet the standard is to dye the dog but what about the soft blacks ?
Can you dye a black coat to meet the standard ?
