If there were no such thing of any tri colors being born into yorkies why did Joan find it neccesary to write about it and include it in her book ? Why would she state that they can be born of all these other colors if it wasnt so?
From her book Page 205
"A large amount of white marks on the chest, paws, jaws or skull place a yorkie into a tri-color classification and it is very wise to guard against this possibility."
"It is not unusual to find small white marks on one or more toes or a fine white line in the lower fore jaw. These will not be visible as an adult. A large amount of white marks on the chest, paws, jaws, or skull, places a yorkie into a tri-color classification and it is very wise to guard against this possibility. Yorkshire terrier puppies can be born of colors that automatically deprive them of the necessary qualities to become the proper colors of the breed. They can be born all black: all tan: tan with black points; tri-color: black, white, and tan; all blue; bluish grey with tan points; and so remain or change to another shade of their newly born colors. These mismarked Yorkie puppies are not the result of the mis-alliances or throwbacks but are rather the net product of incorrectly inherited genes which have failed to activate the pigment glandular system to providing what they require to be in accord with the yorkshire terrier standard. Puppies incorrectly colored or marked should not be sold as rare, they should not be registered Yorkshire Terriers but should simply be found a loving home If one cannot bring oneself to having them put down."
The fact of the matter is that other colors of yorkies are born from traditional color yorkies.
Nikkos line is one line that Crownridge and Summit promoted and bred for tri's
Wildweir had a tri color puppy born from traditional yorkies, No Nikkos in their line.
Same thing for Kokopelli, Hylan, Durrer and the Biewer line of yorkies. No Nikko's in their lines
The Facts are that the Tricolored Yorkshire Terrier is AKC registered. Is it allowed to show in AKC ? No, but that certainly does not stop us from enjoying and sharing our beautiful tri color Yorkshire Terriers with people all over the world.
