AKC most definitely recognizes partis. They have determined that the parti color is a naturally occuring color in the Yorkshire Terrier. They YTCA says the color is a fault so they cannot be shown.
Most yorkies, regardless of color, have a fault and do not qualify for the show ring. The parti colior is just a more obvious fault than other faults.
