I think what's confusing is that DNA says they're pure bred Yorkshire Terrier even though the color combination is contrary to the "standard." The purists want to cull them from the gene pool but some breeders who actually like the colors want to promote them. Nasty arguments ensue. I'm on the fence. I like the traditional blue and tan standard but don't really understand the harm in the existence of the Partis, even if it does mean extra work tracking pedigree information.
