Parti and chocolate are not "Designer colors", they are Yorkshire terriers who carry recessive genes for those colors, just like Blue and tan yorkies carry a dominate gene for gray. Don't be fooled, many of those blue and tan dogs also carry "hidden" recessive genes for chocolate and parti too (as we've seen) ... but I guess that's A-OK, just as long as you don't know it or don't see it?{Quote}
I think the breeder will call it that but you are so right that word is really confusing "designer". I'm sure no expert in registration but isn't that why it is important these faults be registered so we know where they are in a line
