If they were a form of the breed they would be in our confirmation events. No questions asked. You wouldn't have to fight this fight. But I see a maltese, s**tzu and maybe others. It is no different to me. I LOVE ALL DOGS!!!!! So it's nothing unkind for me to say this. But hearing people call my breed a TRADITIONAL?
Yes there are many parti breeds out there. Just not in yorkies. It's just a few people that are breeding some mix breeds that are way over priced.

Believe it or not, some people even with DNA proof, never will that is your choice. Would you also deny DNA evidence at a crime scene? Probably. But the law would say otherwise. These dogs have been around, it is in the literature and in the DNA. They are a recognized color in the AKC. They may not be allowed in the ring but other than that they have been proven to be purebred Yorkies and their standard colored offspring can be shown.
So according to you if you cannot show them they are mixed breeds? OK then have it your way, explain the black and golds, black and tans, blue and gold, and so on. If you have it your way then any of those colors on any of the Yorkies in the the world are mixed breeds because they cannot be shown in the ring. How about the blues?? Are they purebred or mixed?
I for one am happy there is a club that accepts all registered Yorkies and their owners/breeders/exhibitors/enthusiast. To know you can ask questions and not be treated like the waste on the bottom a boot would be nice. To have a civil conversation about the breed that you are so passionate about and not feel like you have to pretend to be someone you are not. To get an honest opinion about your breeding line and where you are going with it from an experienced show person that will foster you and not beat you down is needed. Like was said here by an experienced exhibitor, some handlers could show a dead cat and win. The other side of the coin that is not mentioned much is you could bring a show stopper in the ring and not even place if you dont know the right people or take the judge out to dinner the night before.
If you do not want to join or learn about the club then dont. But let the ones that do want to hear more about it have a place to know.
