All kinds of questions about this? How do you take 2 Yorkies, breed them and come up with a different
breed It seems like even Yorkie breeders and owners have differing opinions.
Following is the YTC info. It's on the FAQ (along with "teacup" info. They do not use the word Biewer but see color anamoly as not a good thing. pagehttp://www.ytca.org/faq.html#B
I think they are cute. I think parti Yorkies are cute. I think babydoll face Yorkies and tinies are cute. However, if we are talking about Yorkies and
their standard we have to look at the YTC and their opinion.

An Important Note About Color in Yorkshire Terriers
.
The most distinctive characteristic of an adult Yorkshire Terrier is its long blue
and tan silk coat. A puppy is born black and tan, but the only recognized colors for
adults when registering with AKC are blue and gold, blue and tan, black and gold,
or black and tan.
.
The AKC Breed Standard and YTCA Code of Ethics do not recognize any
other color dogs than noted above. This includes all gold, born blue, liver
(also known as red or chocolate), and parti-colors. One of the reasons for
avoiding breeding "off-colored" Yorkies is because it could be a genetic defect
that may affect the dog's health. Some health problems can include, but aren't
limited to, severe skin problems, allergies, total hair loss and in some cases
long-term illness and/or death.
.
A responsible breeder will not intentionally breed for undesirable traits.
On very rare occasions, a breeder will have a puppy born with a color anomaly.
That puppy should undergo careful health screenings before being placed in a
spay/neuter (non-breeding) home. A breeder should certainly never
promote these deviations as being desirable or rare.
.
There are many issues that potential Yorkie owners need to study before
purchasing their dog. We hope you will read the helpful information at this
website and make an informed decision. It could very possibly save you
aggravation, disappointment and expense. We wish you the best of luck
in your pursuit of a happy, healthyYorkshire Terrier.
