It's goes far deeper than that.. the main kennel that produced these Parti pups was shut down for DNA testing on generations of dogs by the AKC. They had to PROVE that these Parti dogs came from traditional parents before they were allowed to be registered.
The YTCA will still not accept these "off colored" yorkies, but the AKC was able to prove, through DNA that the parti pups came from traditional parents, just like in Heir Biewers case. It is no different. The Biewer pups, born from traditional parents are yorkies. In Germany, they are still bred to yorkies, not only to other Biewers. In the same litter you will have some dogs registered as Biewers, some as yorkies, all based on their COLOR!
In Germany, that color can make them their own BREED, here... of course it can not.
