Thank you Tami!
Best post on this thread in my opinion.
To the OP...could you please share pedigrees with other breeders here, so we can know which lines this problem has occurred in. As far as what to call them...I would call them pet quality yorkies, they are yorkies that are incorrectly colored. I would be spaying/neutering them all before they go to their new homes. They also would be sold at a low price if sold at all.
