A reputable breeder would be horrified that a color fault had popped up in their lines. I've seen puppies that were held back for the show ring only to have a very minor fault (bite, ear tip, etc) be then sold as pet only. There is a standard that is set for the show ring and those who do show hold that standard very sacred. Those that do not should be held suspect. Furthermore, those that breed so far off the standard with a rainbow of colors should all be help suspect for their true motivatations to breed. If you have enough money you can buy whatever you want from places like Argentina and Europe. That is where many of these "champions" come from carrying lines with color faults.
Did I mention that Paris is a cutie. Not trying to diss your little cutie just trying to clear up any misconceptions regarding color faults and champion lineage  |
The definition of a reputable breeder is a matter of opinion. In MY opinion, a reputable breeder would not breed brother to sister or father to daughter, yet show breeders do this all the time, to get the look that they want, and because of this, the faulty colored yorkies were born.
