Joan Gordon's book is an invaluable resouce for all serious breeders. Her references to the white markings present on pups are as pertinent today as when she first wrote this. Knowledgeable/show breeders will look for this as a good indicator of quantity coat, and in my experience this has proven true. A well-bred yorkie that maintains a white marking as an adult would be considered as a minor fault and would be considered a fault that I could live with in a breeding program.
There are certainly show yorkies in the ring that carry white markings, you will not see them because of the enhancements used in grooming.
