I guess being a standard yorkie show breeder I guess I just don't get why you would want to breed away from what a yorkie should look like and the breed standard whether or not if you agree with the YTCA...
I'm not bashing anyone...I have friends on here with Parti's even tho they know I disagree we are still friends and converse civilally on the subject.
And to think I wasn't going to say anything LOL...

I can tell you what some new breeders have told me. They live in states where the competition on pet quality yorkies is very high. Their breeding stock is generally pet quality, and they cannot sell their yorkies for even $500.00. They are getting pitched by some Parti breeders to add a "carrier " to their line, and once they start producing partis they can sell their offspring for as much as a show breeders dog or even more. This is very tempting to people who see no problem with breeding to earn some extra spending money. Even the carriers are selling for way more than a standard yorkie of comparable quality.
