There are probably more members here who own or breed non standard colored yorkies than we are led to believe, since only a small percentage of dogs are correctly colored, per the YTCA's color standards.

Black coated yorkies, light blue or too dark of blue coated yorkies, yorkies who have dark hairs mixed in their tan coloring - they are all considered to be "not to standard." It's not just parti, chocolate or golden breeders who own and/or breed that have "non-standard" colors, it's any color other than steel blue and tan yorkies.

Just as you have traditional colored yorkie breeders who scam the public, you will also find golden, parti and chocolate breeders who are out to make a quick buck and to try to capitalize on the "rare" colored dog. To them, it doesn't matter how they get the color - a scammer is a scammer no matter how you look at it; no matter what colored yorkie they are trying to sell.

Best advise I can give you is, educate yourself on color genetics, get references on breeders, do your research on bloodlines (to see where the recessive color gene is coming from), look at the parents and grown siblings of the off colored pup before you buy (a line of unattractive dogs will probably not stop at the pup your looking at buying) and don't rush into buying something until you are sure that you are not blinded by color.

This is simple not true..only one Biewer Club in the US out of 5 makes this statement. In Germany where the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier originated does NOT endorse this statement either.

This person thinks that parti's and Biewer's, especially Biewer's, are a mixed breed.

Thanks everyone! You all must get annoyed with answering the same newbie questions all the time. I tried to read all the genetic info and I had Vietnam level flashbacks to Genetics class(which I failed miserably in college). So I just wanted the simple answer. :D

In Korea there are TONS of Yorkies(or at least ones that look like Yorkies) and there is always at least one store that is dedicated to clothing for dogs. The bunny outfit was like 10,000 won(like 6 bucks American).
