The reason you see both colors in some litters...is because the standard colored dog carries two genes. 1 dominant (standard coloring) and 1 recessive. When bred to another dog with the same genetic make up...both must offer the recessive gene for the parti coloring to be expressed (seen).

I have seen people advertising "carriers" for sale ...puppies which are the product of two standard colored parents...and quite honestly there is no way to determine if those puppies are carriers. It is entirely possible the puppy inherited two dominant genes from the parents.
So a parti and a party carrier can make parti yorkies and blue and gold yorkies but you wont know if the blue and gold pups will be parti carriers?
The reason for the question is I am supposed to buy a yorkie from a lady that has a parti yorkie male and i know she does not have a parti female . idk if she has a parti carrier but she has a litter with like 3 partis and two blue and gold. Sorry for not understanding first time you explaned
