Some people selling dogs aren't always truthful when they sell and to some unsuspecting buyer the seller can say sure you can show your parti it's registered with AKC...make sense?

  I agree. When and if parti's are recognized as a separate breed like Biewers, then the YTCA's opinion would be irrelevant. Until then, any sticky about parti colored Yorkshire Terriers must contain YTCA links. 
It is especially important than anyone considering a parti read what the YTCA says. It is important for a potential buyer to be aware that the color is a fault, not "rare". Pet quality Yorkies with faults, no matter what the faults are, should be priced accordingly, not have inflated prices.
