If the Yorkshire Terrier were just a black and tan dog, without any specific markings, then adding white to the mix would not be much of a problem. However the Yorkie isn't just black and tan, it's blue and gold, and the blue in itself is very difficult to obtain, and must only be on certain parts of the dog. The head, legs, and saddle all have rules for their color. It also seems like once you get the white, you lose the blue, and it's more of a black then a blue. I guess I see a problem because it just sounds like the white can be anywhere, and what about the other colors, would they not matter at all?
