Parti are in fact registrable by the AKC.
It is the narrow view of the YTCA that keeps 'Parti's (Yorkies with white) from the ring.
Quite different from the designer dogs (which are hybrid crosses in multi generations) and the idea of a "teacup" which is just a very undersized dog below the defined standard for the breed, undersized dog's pop up like parti's do however the popularity of them has caused detrimental breeding practices to create super down sized dogs as well some methods of stunting the growth in dogs beginning at birth.
I've my own opinions of chocolates and other colors-however they too are all AKC acceptable.
The same is noticeable in saying Biewers are a different breed, they originated from the "parti" Yorkie and are being so inbred you are seeing serious health decline. The very fact that there is no assessable proof of linage in the Biewer dogs showing three already AKC accepted breeds were bred into them i.e. their creation is why they are not accepted in the AKC by their parent club.
Since this is brought up is this why so many YTCA breeders are so readily accepting Biewers now? So they can accept them as a separate breed and not have to accept partis as a Yorkie color variation but have them discounted as a separate breed of dog?

Exactly correct.
