???? AKC recognizes them as a DISQUALIFICATION based on OFF-COLOR, not exactly the recognition I would want to use for breeding them. The actual papers for a yorkie puppy only have 4 choices to choose their color -- Blsck/Gold, Black/Tan; Blue/Gold, Blue/Tan. I know you can get the parti's registered but they are not recognized for anything like showing or breeding IAW YTCA ethics and practices.
Since I KNOW there are so many breeders currently creating their own version of "parti's" that are NOT all yorkie, I would not just assume a "parti" is a yorkie, papers notwithstanding.
