You choose the parts of the standard that suits your breeding.
What is convenient to you and all the "off color - rare - WOW" breeders.
You choose to breed under your OWN standard and you are trying to make it look like it is ok....
Well... IT IS NOT OK.
This is wrong.
There is
only one standard and you don't seem to care that color and texture are
the breed's most distinctive physical traits.
And maybe this is a bit extreme, but if we continue to disrespect the standard and breed what ever trait we want, like or is convenient to supply the demand, we are gonna loose the breed.
A blue and tan unsound dog with structural faults is as wrong as a sound purple, white, chocolate or whatever off color "yorkie".
Both "breeders" that breed in these faults, are equally wrong.
A parti color dog does not represent a TRUE YORKIE.
The dog that reflects the vision of those who originated the breed.
This vision is written in the standard.
IMO there are 2 options.
Respect the
WHOLE standard and breed to it.
or
find another breed.
Don't mess with this one.
