While parti yorkies can be registered with AKC, they can not be shown in the conformation ring. Their color is considered a disqualification according to the yorkshire terrier standard and rules set by the YTCA.

Thanks Michele. The parti registration is based on the parents information (and obvioulsy if they are also registered) and they also look at pictures that you are required to send in along with the registration form.
