It has been recognized as a separate breed by some organization and can be shown in some venues. Not in the AKC
Partis are tri-colored Yorkies. They can be registered with but not shown in AKC. Can be shown in some other venues. There is no standard set for them that allows for the non-standard coloring, but typically, most Parti breeders follow the YT standard with color as the exception.
Biewer info can be found here... Biewer Breed Club of America
You can get more info on the Parti Yorkie here... Yorkshire Terrier - PARTI YORKSHIRE TERRIER CLUB | Thanks, that's the most succinct explanation I've seen yet! Jillie's Dad was a parti, so I guess that makes her a parti even though she looks more standard. Just a little bit of white on chest.
