Like all breeds there will be genetic faults within a breed and color is no exception 
While I think the parti is pretty and cute I still stand behind my belief they shouldn't be bred

First let me please correct my typing..the shows were IABCA and I am fully aware they are not AKC. I can't say if he was reputable or not but I know his dogs were highly valued..even today. He was fully aware they couldn't be show in AKC but they could be registered as Yorkshire Terriers. The AKC only follows the guidelines of the parent club for showing but obvious it has been proven to the AKC these are Yorkies. Over 35 AKC breeds have the piebald gene in them and many breed clubs accept these dogs.
I am not a breeder but I have been very involved with the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier NOT THE BIEWER TERRIER. Nothing is black and white but the point I was making from the beginning is that just because you are YTCA DOES NOT make you reputable nor does being a Hobby breeder make you reputable.
I strongly disagree with the post Jeannie made and I believe it should be deleted.
Again the dog breeding world is not easy to understand nor is the show world. I understand your standards on the Yorkie but I have found few people that have really studied all of it.
Many of us have said time and time again...it is the breeder who is reputable not the organization they belong to.
