This is the same issue Mr Biewer faced when he wanted to show his Parti colored puppies. The Yorkshire Terrier club in Germany would not allow him to show them as they were "off color". So, in order to show them.. he MADE THEM THEIR OWN BREED!!! Convenient! Wish it was so easy to do.

Hi, I do understand what you are saying here. The AKC recognizes Parti Yorkies because they came from AKC registered Yorkies and are therefore presumed to be purebred, just with a different color from traditional Yorkies. The YTCA does not allow them to be shown because the colors do not adhere to breed standards.
