The Yorkies that are blue/tan...blue/gold...black/tan...etc...are all dilutions of the same color....Adding white to the mix is altogether a different genetic matter...
If Parti color was allowed and Partis were repeatedly bred to blue/tan yorkies then eventually we would lose the blue/tan yorkies...A parti bred to a parti produces ALL partis...Sooner or later all yorkies would carry the parti gene...Allowing this to happen would not be protecting the Yorkshire Terrier as a breed...
I am sure that the members of the YTCA are trying to protect the Yorkshire Terrier from this happening...
And as far as Mary & Pat not being the only YTCA member to make rules...The YTCA is a democracy and the majority rules...I think the majority has made a huge statement the last time the standard was voted on! All grown up I believe!
