Like a birthday party where every single food is the wrong color-green mashed potatoes, black ice cream and so on. Would the potatoes still look like potatoes or some other green veggie all mashed up...Gawsh, that certainly was a scientific example, huh? But, that actually was a study done years ago.. |
In a coloring book, perhaps you could not tell. But in reality there apprears to be a difference in coat texture besides the obvious coloring. I have not seen a Biewer with a straight coat, to the ground, with full face furnishings. Most of the pictures I have seen have coats 3/4 of the way to the floor. It is not the smooth silk texture that the yorkie is noted for. The heads are similar, but it is not the head that makes a yorkie a yorkie. You can have a black wooly yorkie, but that does not make it correct to the standard. It is the feel of coolness when you touch a yorkie with correct texture that separates it from a soft coated yorkie. Hard to discribe unless you have actually felt the difference. It's just not all in the colors.
