Parti yorkies are registered through AKC. I know it does not say it on the registration application. I don't know what bchgrl is talking about because my applications do not list any designation for the parti. But if you contact AKC they WILL tel you how to do it. Many here have partis that are AKC registered.
The disqualification is for showing them. They cannot be shown in an AKC sponsored show or they will be disqualified. But you can register them, even breed them. There is a great deal of debate over whether that is a good idea. I for one, believe that only dogs that meet the standard should be bred. But many others feel differently. So, if you respect the breeder, find her ethical and caring in the way she is breeding her dogs, and you want a tri-color dog, I would definately trust she is telling the truth on the registration part. I am like you -- I want toverify things, especially when I am looking at a registration application and seeing no parti choice. But do not worry -- AKC will tell you how to go about registering your tri-color pup.
BTW Biewers cannot be registered with AKC -- another debate because many saythey are the same dog as the parti. But the Biewer people are saying the dog is not a yorkie and they are trying to get Biewers recognized by AKC as their own breed. |
Just what "treatment" has the OP received in your opinion? I think the OP has received excellent advice from those familiar with the parti and how to reg them. Responses such as this is why parti threads get heated and closed. But that has come to be expected in any thread containing the word "parti" on here lately.
