The Yorkshire does carry the piebald gene. The AKC has established that fact through research.
Anyone who researches the history will discover that for themselves.
If they were not pure yorkies, the YTCA would have no say over them what-so-ever. The fact that they address the issue is proof that they do believe that they are yorkies.
The statments on the YTCA site are very confusing. On one hand they say they are not yorkies, and then they turn around and address it as a color fault. Well Which is it? The also bring up how much money is being charged for the parti colored yorkies.. If thery are not yhorkies then why do they address theat?
The AKC has interviewed old time breeders and has statemets from then stating that parti colored pups have been showing up in their litters forever. They either destroyed the pups or gave them away to keep the YTCA from finding out.
