They are yhorkies, they sre acdcepted as yhorkies by the AKC and the YTCA. Their color is considered a fault, but they still go by the yorkie standard with as color fault. If they were a separate breed, they would have a different standarsd, but since they are yorkies, they go by the yorkie standard. They are first and foremost,"yorkshire terriers", second parti colored yorkshire terriers.




Just as I always state, I agree that a large majority of Yorkies do not fit every single aspect called for by the standard. No argument there. I believe most are aware than lots of dogs are produced that don't meet the standard. I even already stated that the other colors you mentioned did not have a standard as well...which is the truth.
However, that was not the point of my post. My point was to correct the mistatement that there is a standard for Partis, when in fact there isn't.

Sometimes statements that people make are just that...statements of fact...not challenges. Why they are always treated as such is still a mystery to me. Stating that there is no standard for Partis is just that...a statment of fact.

It's pretty simple really. they are yorkies, and go by the standard with a color fault. Some day the fault will be lifted.
