My question is..is it possible our eyes are deceiving us because of the coloration???
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.. |
OK..now I understand. We have to look beyond color. Color is a general perception, Type is what we should look at. Like it was mentioned earlier reference post#11, explains Type and how important that is over color; not only in Biewers and the Standard (b/g) Yorkie but also with the Tri Colored Yorkies that are registered with the AKC.
If I understood post #11 correctly, Breeds are developed by breeding 'Type to Type'. Color not being the only focus.
