I agree with everything you've posted above Debra with the exception of including partis in with mixed breeds. AKC does recognize partis as a color variation of yorkshire terriers. One may or may not agree with breeding them, but they are yorkies. I don't agree with marketing them as rare, any more than I think tiny yorkies should be exploited and marketed for their size.
