One thing I would like to say in regards to lighter colored Yorkies. I don't agree with dying a dog either, but lighter ones do show up. That doesn't mean they can't produce a correct dog and the tint of blue is no reason to discount these dogs as off-colored. Partis bred to partis will only produce partis so there is zero chance of getting a correctly colored dog from them.
Not every breeder produces cookie cutter dogs with 100% conformation, even with good lines. I get the impression that some think the breed standard is what a standard, typical Yorkie should look like. The breed standard describes the ideal Yorkie and many will not meet the ideal. Many exhibitors have said on this forum how they may have to wait several litters to get a great prospect. The ideal is something to strive for...not something that is achieved every time. |
It's so black 'n white to me.
