Register color #014 may mean "other" for all I know, but it doesn't mean Parti. I think some of the statements made that try to imply Partis are a special breed listed with the AKC are very misleading. There is no listing for Parti. Like I said before, a dog is eligible if his parents were eligible, and they are simply listed as Yorkshire Terriers. | Yes that is true, they are listed as yorkshire terriers having the color number of 014. But not ever off colored yorkie can be registered with the AKC. Those breeders who worked with the AKC to get the oparti colored registered had 42 litters of puppies DNA'd i9n order to satisfy the AKC that they were indeed purebred yorkshire terriers of a different color. No other off colors have been accepted.
So if you breed two traditional colored yorkies that are AKC registered and produce a chocolate or a golden, you cannot register them because there is no color number to give them.
So the statement that you made saying that they are eligible if their parents are eligible is not completely correct.
So unlike other off colors, Parti colored yarkies are not just eligible, they are accepted and registered by the AKC. |
