AKC DOES INDEED REGISTER PARTI COLORS! And, they are listed as black and tan-that part is true. BUT+++ where the section is for markings, it VERY CLEARLY says Parti..So they do have accurate records indicating the dog is a parti. Parti has a definition in AKC standards that denote the markings, not the colors. Parti has a base coat of white with another definite color evident. By definition in the AKC registry parti is not a color but indicate the dog's markings. I sent 4 pics of Remi along with his reg. application. In about 5 weeks I had his reg back and he was listed as black and tan color AND parti as his markings. The statemet that AKC does not keep accurate records of parti colors is at best, a half-truth..That breeder might have had a misunderstanding as to the interpretation of the AKC registration.. I would give them the benefit of the doubt..
How many of our standard color puppies are registered as black and tan but as adults they are blue and gold? With Yorkie puppies you cannot determine the adult color. With partis at least you can see the white with the other colors.
