Yes, the preponderance of scientific evidence suggests that partis, chocolates, and golden yorkies are not purebred. If you look earlier in this thread, someone was even advocating breeding these colors (as well as merle) in from other breeds and stated that as long as they were crossed into Yorkshire Terriers for at least three generations, it would fool the MARS test, and therefore it must be an okay thing to do. Needless to say, I (and many others) disagree.
