Once you read the link in the attachment it is pretty clear the yorkies that throw this gene should not be breed again..

You know I respect your opinion and I mean no offense with this post but
as the owner of a red and white parti-colored yorkie I must respectfully give my .02 cents.
While it may be the opinion of
some breeders that those with the recessive genes for off colors should not be bred to "protect" the breed.....that opinion is not shared by all, and some very reputable breeders breed "for" these colors because they are beautiful. This is in fact how the Biewer was developed. The tri-colors showed up in a litter and instead of killing the puppies as the purist breeders would have done in the name of "protecting" the breed, Mr. Biewer recognized their great beauty and decided to start a new breed or category of breed depending on who you talk you.
I am not sure what they think they are "protecting" the breed from, but just because the YTCA and the AKC dog clubs do not like them does not mean they are not good dogs and worthy of breeding. I am opposed to any breed standard that discriminates unfairly.
My Chai came from two traditionally colored black and tan parents and her breeder is extremely reputable.
