Look at Donna's example.
Difficult? Absolutely!
But well worth the effort to have a chance at obtaining full recognition and open the door to improve the breed....if that really IS what partis want.
With the testimony of members, I don't ever see the YTCA giving in to partis in this lifetime, whether or not they're going away...that's not the issue anyway. But if they truly believe the parti is not fit for the Yorkie standard, the AKC may listen and be willing to accept a new standard.  Seems like the YTCA has made clear it is a dead-end for partis, but that may not be the only way for partis to get their cute lil’ butts fully recognized and showin’  Seems like the Biewers are making progress...
If you work toward a parti standard, you won’t have to change the Yorkie standard and make many passionate breeders feel you’ve destroyed their lovely breed, but still have recognition and qualification to show. Like I said before, there will be many more reputable breeders jumping on the band wagon to better the breed if partis quit driving against the standard. Seems like a more attainablegoal to me...in the favor of partis.

NO as long as they are pure bred yorkies they cannot be a separate breed. You cannot trake any breed fand breed for a different color and then make it a breed of it'sown.
In order to start a new breed you have to use 3 different breeds and it takes years and years to get it to the point where you are just breeding your nesw breed togetherand the results are opredictable.
It is impossible to get the parti color yorkie accepted as a breed other than a yorkie.
if you do not believe me, contact the AKC and ask them.
Just because the YTCA has DQ'd them, does not mean it is a dead end. The YTCA is not static, it is constantly changing members, so in the future a vote might bring entirely different results. mabe not in my lifetime, but it can happen.
