I did ome research on parti colored yorkies. This is from the ytca website:

"The AKC Breed Standard and YTCA Code of Ethics do not recognize any other
color dogs than noted above. This includes all gold, born blue, liver (also known as
red or chocolate), and parti-colors. One of the reasons for avoiding breeding
"off-colored" Yorkies is because it could be a genetic defect that may affect the
dog's health. Some health problems can include, but aren't limited to, severe skin
problems, allergies, total hair loss and in some cases long-term illness and/or death.
.
A responsible breeder will not intentionally breed for undesirable traits. On very
rare occasions, a breeder will have a puppy born with a color anomaly. That puppy
should undergo careful health screenings before being placed in a spay/neuter
(non-breeding) home. A breeder should certainly never promote these deviations
as being desirable or rare"
