Oh but there is a set standard for the Parti Yorkshire terrier, It is a Yorkshire terrier and goes by that standard except for color.
The original Biewer standard was also using the same standard as the yorkie except for color.
For the life of me I still cannot understand how you get a whole different breed when the foundation of it is years and years of Yorkshire terrier, nothing but yorkies.
Fru and Darling were Yorkshire terriers that thru a parti colored pup, The VDH denied the acceptance of the dogs as being a breed of their own. They instead designated them as being of “wrong color, not for breeding”.So he set out to find someone who would register them as a separate breed, He called them the
Biewer Yorkshire Terrier A La Pom Pon
He got them registered with the ACH.
Even he knew they were yorkshire terriers, Just a different color. Had they been allowed registry into the VDH they would have been parti colored yorkshire terriers.
