Apparently it is recgonized by the AKC otherwise they wouldn't allow the color to be registered? YTCA writes the standards and AKC just lists the breed clubs written standards on their site.

The only standard for Yorkie currently only includes the blue/gold combo...no others.
Not meaning to step on toes here, but it can be a bit misleading to someone just learning about Partis to be told there is a standard for them when there really isn't, other than what Parti breeders have elected to follow. |
Not stepping on any toes - we're good
Maybe you could tell us where the written standards are for the color variations of black and gold, light silver and tan, blue and red, blue and tan with intermingled dark hairs ... well, basically about 80% of the yorkie population that doesn't meet the dark steel blue and tan standards ... if there is a written standard for those other off colors, than I guess parti would fall into their written standards?
Bottom line is that AKC registered parti colored yorkshire terrier ARE Yorkshire terriers, and they are just as off colored as a black and gold according to the YTCA's standards for color.
