Hello everyone! I just got done reading all the posts and I would like to make a comment.
I use to show another breed other than Yorkie, but knew quite a few show people/breeder after many years. One of the reasons why I stopped showing was the waste of culling a puppy/young dog for even simple things like the eye shape not being good enough or enough stop (between the level of the nose and top of the head)...it broke my heart for these precious babies! All they wanted was to be loved and to love. I know that some other people, show people, would actually put puppies down if they did not measure up to their standards instead of even selling/placing them in a loving pet home.
So, personally I believe a breeder should breed for a healthy puppy that is as typy as possible and place each precious baby in a loving home.
As a side note, Partis are very pretty (actually, super adorable!), accepted by the AKC and as far as I know I live in the USA which gives me the freedom to pick what I want to own and love. I do own two parti carriers and a parti because they are so pretty that I chose them to live with me and to love.
