There were white skyes and apparently parti color too.
Please see the link that talks about James Pratt, a well known skye breeder and fancier in the late
1800's/early 1900's. He had white Skye terriers.
Mr. James Pratt
Attached below is an article published in the New York Times in 1966 talking about parti colors being an issue in the Skye breed.
