Rubbish! I’ve known plenty of coloured varieties that’s gained their CH title here in the U.K. Please look at previous crufts BOB results, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. One’s that always sticks in my mind is Ch Dachida’s Colour Me Blue who was a blue tri! Ch Parisland Pans Little Man at Manchino, who was a Parti colour. Multi/grand Ch Mystic Legion Drago (sable). Multi CH Bramver’s Millionaire (another Parti). And this is naming just a few BOB’s, this is not mentioning other championship shows where many have gained a title!

@@butterfly5860 Millionaire is in the white/cream pallet as well. Clear colors. And I mean they have been choosing clear colors in the big shows. This year alone both long coats and smooth coats were clear colors in Crufts, Westminster and WDS. 6 dogs in the same color pallet out of (probly) thousands of other options.

@@Tdvc any judge worth their salt will always pick breed standard over a coat colour. I feel more all rounder judges tend to go for the lighter coloured dogs, but a breed specialist (definitely here in the U.K.) doesn’t mind coat colour aslong as the dog “fits the bill”.
