I understand from a YTCA breeders perspective that a parti isn't desired within their lines. It is agreed that even show breeders have had an off color appear in a litter, if they are sold as a pet why should they not be registered? Is it because the breeder doesn't want anyone to know of the off color in their lines?

Parti colors have been around thru-out history, Yes they can pop up in any line.
The parti owners understand that the YTCA does not want to change the standard to include these dogs, We don't want the standard to be changed we just want a variation of the yorkie. Change is good every now again. Just think what the world would be without change.

Thank you for this information. It's good to know of his registration and I wish all breeders would follow this example and be honest about their lines.
