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. |
Not impossible- as there are other examples.

Once one
purebred breed, now two.
Supposedly the AKC sees Biewers as Yorkies, but they seem to be working with them toward recongition.

And if you need three breeds, go back to the breeders who knew their mix registered as AKC purebred parti Yorkies for your documentation. You could probably easily find three breeds in partis if you wanted. As for DNA, sounds like you can dilute the gene pool enough to get purbred results back.
But if partis are not willing to put the time and effort in...that's every bit their choice. I do wish they would get a standard so they would be bred for the betterment and qualified to show.
Maybe that's not your goals IDK.
Even if the YTCA would ever remove the DQ, you still couldn't show a parti bc the colors are clearly described as blue and tan while the coat is of great importance. Some might be too light or too dark but they're still blue, while white isn't even close. And I wonder if it's true the AKC won't accept any more varieties. You'd need a complete standard revision.
