Personally I don't know why parti yorkies couldn't be shown as another variety of the breed. Plenty of other breeds have parti colors shown separately. For that matter, some breeds are even separated by coat type.
Where the gene came from is a moot point...it's here now and the dogs aren't going away.
I can only see benefits of allowing parti's to be evaluated in the ring.
