I'm also getting plenty of PM's saying what a wonderful job that those of us that keep standing our ground....so I guess it is informative because I'm receiving emails for the standard and that supports the YTCA.
I also agree that this thread has run it's course and as we all know none of us will change our minds....I've always stayed on topic and in a friendly manner and I've gotten so many emails wondering how I can keep my cool and tongue and I just have to say it's easy because I strongly believe in my convictions.

But you are missing (ignoring) the point...if a breeder is not doing what the standard states, they are also breeding off-colors. It does NOT matter if it is a tri-color or a lighter steel. This is picking and chosing what you want to take from the standard and saying that it's okay but what the parti breeders are doing is wrong. No matter how a person paints the picture, if you say that you are for following the standard, then do that...don't tell the parti breeders how wrong we are when you or someone that you know has held a dye bottle in their hand in order to enter a dog show.
