The breed standard has changed over the years - I don't believe color is even listed in the breed standard any longer but back in the 1990's the only colors listed in the standard was black, brown, bay and chestnut with the only white being in the form of sock, stocking, star, stripe, snip. |
Are you suggesting that without the addition of the Parti Coloring to the AKC standards, the Yorkie breed is going to "die out"?
