Just let them show.
RIDICULOUS. Why does the color matter if the dog is well bred and healthy?
Let them compete. It should be about who is the best dog not some silly rule about colors. Keep the sport fair.
Total nonsense. My dog is a Doberman and fits the standard perfectly except for this absurd color restriction. shame on you.
Are you kidding me? A dog is a dog regardless of the color. This is just ridiculous gatekeeping.

So much for progress. We should be celebrating the breed not trying to limit it based on old arbitrary rules.
