Here are a few of my parti carriers .... their sire's are all parti's so we know they are carriers but just by looking at them, they look like a traditional yorkie.

The parti's lines we have today are a result of a surprise parti being born to two traditional parents (parents who both carried the recessive parti gene).

So yes, it's possible to breed a parti carrier yorkie to a traditional yorkie and have a parti colored pup, if the traditional yorkie was also carrying the recessive parti gene.
