A parti yorkie is simply a tri (black/white/tan) Yorkshire Terrier that is considered a purebred and is allowed AKC registration.
A year ago...the Biewer was also considered a tri yorkie that originated in Germany. However there are some in the breed who now believe the Biewer to be a new breed that was produced from mixing breeds.
Now that I own both a Biewer and a Parti Yorkie...I can see the many difference's in the breeds. I truly can.
As far as "genetic issue's"? From my understanding...neither of these parti varieties produce anymore health issue's then the traditional yorkshire breed itself. I have not heard of any color related defects in either breed.
