I am new to this forum, and I am not even sure if I am posting this in the right place...

I currently am searching for another dog, and I am considering the parti-colored Yorkshire Terrier. I guess to start with I am wondering if someone on here could give me more information regarding them. I understand that they are not an acceptable color for AKC conformation shows, but they can be registered with AKC... Is this correct? What is the difference between the Biewer Yorkie and the "Parti" Yorkie? Also, this is a general question about Yorkies, I have heard that they can be aggressive with other dogs and difficult to housebreak. Is this true?

I do own another dog, a 4 year old Collie. She was raised with small animals and is excellent with them, so I don't think having a little brother or sister would be a problem. I am considering the Yorkie, because I am finishing college within the next year, and I am not sure I want to have another somewhat large dog. My current dog also sheds quite a bit as it is, and I am hesitant to take on another dog that might shed as much as her.

Also, if anyone knows of any breeders in the South that might have parti Yorkies, please let me know. I think my main interest in this color is just personal interest and maybe it reminds me of a Collie!
