Shame, Shame- go back and look at some of the great yorkies that are in the background of our breed. You will find that there are a lot who would have the "silver as some of you are calling it" . The debate in yorkies has always beed the hue.
Some will call a steel blue "black" Some will call a steel blue" a white color"
There will always be a debate. Many of you will be suprised at the dogs in your background that have a lighter blue. As Gordon Bennet state in their book" defining color is based on the eyes of the beholder" Very true words.
We used to say gun barrel blue- still left it up to us to make the determination.
Those that have - Northshire, Choby- Lordean in your backgrounds have a lighter blue some Wildweir was lighter. Mayfair, Gaitmoor, Chelsea Nimar, and Judabobs are some of the old that were darker.
I challenge all of you to do your research and learn what is behind your dogs background. You will be suprised at what you find. |
