I've seen green yorkies, purple yorkies with bad dye jobs and I've been beaten by them and that is something I can't handle myself. If one chooses to dye, do it good or dont' do it at all. It's all wrong to do and if one chooses to do it and decide to breed a male out or sell a show dog out of a female one best be honest about the dye job.
I don't know what a soft black is but I do what a clerical grey is and I would assume that is what a soft black is...well at least that would be my interputation. A clerical grey or soft black yorkie doesn't have the correct silk texture and is what I interput as a soft coat.
At least I'm honest when some say there are dyed dogs in the ring and won't deny that there is.

So..it's ok to lie and cheat...as long as the end result conforms to the written standard. How can anyone defend showing, finishing and breeding a light dog? Because it's only a color fault...and not a DQ?
That may fool the judges. But what happens when the dye washes clear? They still have light dogs producing light coats in their puppies. I wonder if they include dying instructions in thier puppy packs when they place a show prospect. The sad part is...I have heard that some dye recipes are indeed handed down like grandma's favorite cookie recipe.
It seems that for the most part...there is a color standard set for this breed that is practically unattainable without enhancements.
