That site claims that their dogs are AKC registered, but I found this at YCTA.
An Important Note About Color in Yorkshire Terriers
.
The most distinctive characteristic of an adult Yorkshire Terrier is its long blue and*
tan silk coat.* A puppy is born black and tan, but the only recognized colors for adults*
when registering with AKC are blue and gold, blue and tan, black and gold, or
***** black and tan.
*.
***** The AKC Breed Standard and YTCA Code of Ethics do not recognize any other
color dogs than noted above.* This includes all gold, born blue, liver (also known as*
red or chocolate), and parti-colors.* One of the reasons for avoiding breeding
***** "off-colored" Yorkies is because it could be a genetic defect that may affect the*
dog's health.* Some health problems can include, but aren't limited to, severe skin
problems, allergies, total hair loss and in some cases long-term illness and/or death.*
*.
***** A responsible breeder will not intentionally breed for undesirable traits.* On very
rare occasions, a breeder will have a puppy born with a color anomaly.* That puppy*
should undergo careful health screenings before being placed in a spay/neuter
***** (non-breeding) home.* A breeder should certainly never promote these deviations*
as being desirable or rare.
*.
***** There are many issues that potential Yorkie owners need to study before purchasing*
their dog.* We hope you will read the helpful information at this website and make*
an informed decision.* It could very possibly save you aggravation,
***** disappointment and expense.* We wish you the best of luck in your pursuit*
of a happy, healthyYorkshire Terrier. |
