Even 20-30 year show veterans with dozens of champions, and decades of experience will at some point or another get a red leg.. so I wouldn't say it is not a sign of a well bred animal.
I think color and coat are always important, whether your prized pet, or your BISS winning show dog. Even a pet owner wants a dog that looks like it is supposed to. I'll give you an example, my cocker is a PET..always has been, spayed at 8 months old, never bred, HOWEVER her father is a world Champion, and her mother is also a Champion. She has a beautiful pedigree, and is a GORGEOUS dog. When people see her, they don't realize She IS a cocker because she is correct and they are used to seeing BYB Crap! Point being, even though I was buying a pet, I still wanted a GORGEOUS pet.

For what I understand the coat and color are the most important point in the standard of the Yorkshire terrier breed. Nevertheless, if you are not going to show your precious baby, color and coat are not that extremely important, right?  |
