This is a very interesting thread, as I have learned some new things.
I do wish that there wasn't so much bickering back and forth. I don't think anyone is putting down any dog, whether it be Yorkie, Parti or Biewer, so I really just don't understand what all this 'rage and fuss' is all about
I gather that the AKC says a Parti is a tri-colored yorkie. I gather that that haven't excepted the Biewer as a separate breed (yet). What I don't understand is that if there are people/organizations that are spending not only money but countless hours of research, etc to *try* and establish this *new separate breed* then why should anyone be so upset about it

I mean, if it *happens* isn't that a great thing? If they do find this to be a new and separate breed, than isn't that a good thing?
....maybe I am missing something
