I have looked at your pictures. Granted they are very cute. OK, here comes the BUT!!LOL
It seems to me that most of you are only breeding for color only. The conformation of the dogs is sub-standard, to say the least. I see roached backs, sparse hair, long noses, down faces, bat ears, bad fronts and rears, poor ears sets, loppy ears, low tail sets, etc. And these are your breeding stock! I fail to see how you are going to improve your stock breeding the quality that I have seen. I am not looking at just color either. Its the conformation that, if it were me and these were all blue and tan dogs, I would spay and neuter most of them.
I am not wanting to start any arguments, I am just observing. As is said, people tend to get kennel blindness after a while. And breeding for one triat is not a good idea. The rest of the dogs gets lost.
I know, I know. There are tons of standard breeders that breed sub-standard Yorkies. They are everywhere. But (theres that word again!LOL), you are wanting to show you dogs, hopefully someday, and I cant think of many breeder/exhibitors of Yorkies that would have started with the quaility you advertise.

As I said I dont want to start arguments. These are some serious matters that some of the parti breeders need to think about. Most of those faults I mentioned will takes years and generations to breed out.
Hoepfully you will take this as constructive critisizm.
Have you seen some of the specimens being shown in the conformation ring now of the "STANDARD COLOR"? I very much doubt you will find every standard colored yorkie in the ring to be of sound structure! How many yorkies of the standard color being shown have bad fronts, bad rears, roach backs, east/west huge ear sets, bad bites, down faced, low tail sets etc? The list goes on and on!

You also cannot group every parti breeder into the same bad breeder group! There is good and bad in everything!

I have a beautiful standard colored show boy in my home with that being said I also own a beautiful parti boy straight from the Nikko breeder. I would place my parti boy up against my multi champion sired standard colored boy any old day!
