Well, that all depends on who you ask I guess.

The YTCA and AKC currently do not allow Parti-colored yorkshire terriers to be shown. AKC will register them, but they are a disqualification if someone tried to show one. Those breeders that follow the YTCA's rules and show/breed standard yorkies would say that any yorkie carrying a parti gene would be very undesirable as most do not want to breed for that color since they can not be shown.

But if you ask someone that purposely breeds for partis, then they would want to buy a yorkie carrying that gene. So to them, those puppies would be more desireable.

The Biewers are a parti-yorkie that orginated in Germany. They have their own clubs and standard and are being shown as their own breed in international shows
