I dont "approve" the breeding of off colored Yorkies. They are not to the standard and never have been.The Yorkie has always been a tan dog with a blue saddle. The breeds used to create the Yorkie were not parti colored, blond or chocolate. There is alot of controversy over how and when the off colors came to be and since there was no DNA or kennel inspections back then, who knows if they are 100% Yorkes or a few mixes that started being bred in and over the years actually started to resemble Yorkies.

I do think that some of the parti colors ar pretty but shouldnt be bred for specificall and should never be sold as "rare" just so greeders can get a high $$$ from un-educated buyers which, it seems to me, is usually the case
