The parti yorkies standard with the exception of color, is the same as any AKC Yorkshire Terrier. The same standards holds true for any AKC yorkshire terrier that isn't the ideal shade of steel blue and tan and there is only a small percentage of Yorkshire terriers that actually meet the YTCA's standards for correct/ideal dark steel blue and tan coat coloring.
