Breeders of Yorkies have always and will always have different ideas of what the correct color is and hopefully we will be able to make it thru the next 4 and 1/2 years. I have been to several shows where the dogs were nearly white and did not get DQ'd (and I just knew that they would be), so I think that most of the Judges will not enforce the DQ so strictly as it is written. We just have to watch out for the few that will. |

Maia I think her head is way too light for her age and you will receive a SUCM. If it isn't a rich gold now it won't be later. |
I noticed over the weekend that two dogs were DQ'ed in Colorado on 2/15 by judge Marcie Dobkin and one in Florida by judge Thomas Daniel. Does anyone know the reasons? |

Donna and Michelle, thanks. I wish I knew what two light was. I have seen plenty of light ones that don't get DQ'ed. The dog in Florida got WD and BOB one day and DQ'ed the next....go figure. |

Some judges won't use the DQ when it's needed and some judges use the DQ when it's not warranted so its all what the judge wants to do in their ring on that day. |

I know the male was Riverwalk Tax Man and if that is the same male I am thinking about he is nearly 3 years old and just needs a major to finish. I don't remember him being too dark. |
Still I’m not an expert, but I did marked “my diary” not to show under Mrs. Mildred K. Bryant I’m not sure what was happened, but she did withhold the reserve. |

I have a few questions that I hope someone will take the time to answer. Please bear with me, as I am totally not trying to start anything - I just love to go to dog shows and am trying to become more knowledgeable. 1. What do you mean (can't remember who said it) that it is too hard for the newbies now? 2. What does it mean that "the next five years will be so hard"? 3. Also, if the puppy were DQd because it was too light, doesn't it stand to reason that it will get even lighter as it gets older? 4. Where can I find the old standard and the new standard so that I can compare the two? All the information about too light, too dark, thumbprints, etc. -- it's really just too much. I am totally confused. |

2. What does it mean that "the next five years will be so hard"? The standard cannot be changed again for 5 years. (Now it is 4 years) 3. Also, if the puppy were DQd because it was too light, doesn't it stand to reason that it will get even lighter as it gets older? The reason for the new DQ's was to stop parti-colored Yorkeis from showing but because of the wording it affected the light and dark spectrums of our breed. 4. Where can I find the old standard and the new standard so that I can compare the two? When reading the new standard, just remove the last portion of the standard that deals with the DQ and you have the old standard. |

The bitch was owned by a new exhibitor and she was very upset. She was a real trooper and came back the next day. Her dog was a Gold Dust/Durrer breeding. |

Again, you are right , it's gonna be a LONG 4 years LOL Donna |
I have a question that I am curious about. I keep hearing about the different color enhancements that can be used to make the yorkie's steel blue look darker. I think it is called Black Rage and there may be other products out there. Also I heard just the other day about something you can spray on the gold of the light dogs to make the roots look darker. I also heard a while back where a judge asked an exhibitor if their dog was dyed, which it was not. So I am wondering if a yorkie has been enhanced to look darker than it really it will a judge DQ that dog if he thinks it has been enhanced and have any of you ever been questioned by a judge about the color of your dog? |

Donna, where's your avatar??? We need another pretty yorkie to look at.:) One thing I notice when I was looking at the pictures of the dogs at Westminster is that many of them looked really dark and the gold looked more like a tan on many of them. Was it just the pictures or were there a lot of darker yorkies there? I sure would loved to have been there. |

You also have to remember in pictures and TV the lighting with flashes and the lighting in the building pictures are taken in can and will affect color. Some dogs will appear lighter than normal or darker depending on the lightening. |
DQ in Orlando The one that was DQ in Orlando... I know the breeder personally (for a long, long time) and she has some Very, very nice dogs. She has been showing for about 25 years and knows the standard and has had quite a few champions over the years. The one that was DQ for being dark is only 1.5 years old. She will probably clear and will hold a nice blue. For a bitch - I would rather them break later than earl. Her sire had some great wins too. Yes, she took 1/W/BB/BW just the day before and I believe also has other wins. T. |
