But as it stands now isn't a parti considered a yorkie within the AKC registry? If so, then a parti is a color fault until they are a breed of their own correct? And as it stands now in the ring since it's not a breed of it's own it would be disqualified in the ring. I can only say I breed for show yorkies for myself and not pets but unfortunately not every pup will turn out to be show so I would have to place in a pet home so I do breed to the breed standard or as close as I can and adhere to the YTCA code of conduct and code of ethics and so when an opinion on a public forum is asked I will give an opinion as to what I believe and stand for. It may not be a popluar opinion to a parti or brewer breeder but it's mine and what I believe
But...I have never said a parti breeder was not reputable I just don't believe in breeding a known fault. Please do not think I'm bashing anyone because I'm not it's just I'm stating what I believe and practice
