I'm pretty much a stickler for the standard. Yorkies are supposed to be blue and tan (although I'm not opposed to the look of a black and tan yorkie as I personally like darker colors over ones that are too light). I'm a little undecided on the partis...the ones that are bred with the standard in mind (besides color) and look like a yorkie in features are beautiful but I'm not convinced that they originated from two purebred yorkies at this time. I'm 100% against breeding chocolate (liver) yorkies for many reasons... I can understand how all blue and all golds come about, but they should not be bred either. I know some standard yorkies that lightened over the years to almost all gold though, but that is a different situation from a yorkie born all golden.
