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?

The yorkie has many examples of black and tan dogs. Even though they no longer adhere to the standard...many yorkies don't have the proper blue/tan coat. The parti is no different. It's all in how they are bred. Yes..some parti's will stay black...and many of the blue fades to light silver. For the most part...that is because pet bred yorkies are the majority of the lines being bred into the parti. Once they are consistantly bred to better quality yorkies..their color will improve drastically. This is just the beginning for the parti. Better days are upon us.

I know this will open myself up to critiques...but I don't care. Here are a few pics of my boy...who IMO has the correct dark blue on the blue portion of his coat. As you can tell...even in the last pic where he is shaved nekkid...his color is correct. It shows his nice structure and top line too.
