Do not be fooled into buying one of these dogs.
Now that Designer Dogs are the rage, the “new” Parti-Color Yorkie is certain to draw attention. While we have had problems in the past with “rare gold” Yorkshire Terriers being advertised, the parti-color is a new one! While some breeds have an occasional mismark and some breeds do have a gene for a white dog, we do not. Had there been a problem with white markings, piebald dogs, or white dogs, it would have been addressed in our Standard. Due to unscrupulous breeders advertising parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers at premium prices, our members voted unanimously at our annual meeting to add a disqualification for these and other off colored dogs.

Now what I want to know is why they decided to disqualify them based on how much money breeders sell them for??? Is that YTCA's business to tell breeders what they can and cannot charge (especially of parti breeders who are not members)??? I cant believe they are calling the parti yorkie a "designer dog" when DNA proves otherwise.

I guess my white chocolate cake wouldnt be to their satisfaction because I paid more for it than a traditional homemade chocolate cake. LOL Where is their 18th century reasoning coming from I wonder.
It is very funny that on one hand they say the color does not exist, and then turn around and DQ it. If it doesn't exist, then why do the need to DQ it.
