I didn't open this up to create an arguement, just to inform you want that the standard is being changed.
The standard was written by the YTCA and adopted by AKC.....I don't think the Chocolate or off colored will be accepted and written into the standard in the near future as both are recognized as genetic faults. I only know that because of advertising these rare breeds and selling them for big $$$$$ that the YTCA in conjuction with the AKC found it necessary to rewrite the standard. However, these off colored Yorkies are being allowed to be registered today by the AKC.
