So you have AKC's DNA profile proving parentage only and the Mars test (with the above highlighted qualifiers). Do you really feel that is enough to sway the parent club? Unless a test comes along establishing breed purity, I don't think there's enough there to convince the parent club to allow Partis in.

"The genetic makeup for the Yorkshire Terrier is:
asasBBCCDDEEGGmmSStt
S Self colour to totally pigmented surface si Irish spotting involving a few definite areas of white sp Piebald spotting sw Extreme-white piebald
Most breeds without white markings are SS but from time to time markings do appear and in general appear on toes, chest or muzzle. These marks can be present at birth and are lost during infancy. The ones that persist are not other s alleles but to minus modifiers at the S allele and will be limited to those minute amounts in those locations.
Irish spotting is also limited to certain areas of the body as the dominant S is, ruling out either gene in the makeup of Parti Yorkie Tri Colors or Biewers. Limited to forehead, chest, belly, feet and tail tip.
Piebald shows much larger amounts of white on the dogs then the Irish spotting gene.
Extreme-white piebald is seen in those breeds which are white in color. As a result of this double carrier of swsw all other colors can be suppressed. (From Malcolm Willis "Genetics of the Dog")
