Color is not a serious fault (silvery blue)..so most judges will put up a lighter one over a structure fault like top line, bad bite etc...it is hard to get deep steel blue and keep it forever...dogs lighten by the time they make champion sometimes, especially the silk ones..in the days of old and Yorkies were very dark, most were very soft, cottony...C.D. Higgins won the Garden, but I doubt the judge would give it to him today..he was very different then what we see now..
I recently saw a web site with some of the older Yorks...all looked soft..
Does anyone know the point system a judge uses to judge the dog? |
