I have to agree with you Breny. The parti variety of the Yorkshire Terrier is a stunning little dog. My house will never be without one.

She's a doll. And hey, I have had mutts before that got just as much love and attention as any purebred. I just love dogs.

For example, I love floppy ears, but a yorkie breeder who breeds for this trait would be unethical, there's nothing wrong with buying a dog with floppy ears as long as you didn't pay more than you would for a dog that met standard. By supporting breeder who breed to standard, you are protecting the breed as a whole. The parti color is a fault, and while many people think it's a "cute" fault, breeders who purposely breed for it and increase the price for this fault this are misleading the public. It's actually very easy to produce the parti color if you have two parti dogs, in fact, you can't produce anything but parties. On the other hand, it is possible for two standard yorkies to produce both standard and parti yorkies. Good breeders will sell the parti to a pet only home, and don't charge more for it. I also recommend that people avoid supporting "one trait" breeders like those who breed for size or color alone.

But I will say they are beautiful. As Nancy said she loves floppy ears, I love partis and I love a red yorkie. I don't know but maybe they could start a different breed? But I'll let the breeders tell you more.

Bewer Yorkies or Party Yorkies are mixes between Maltese and a Yorkie, they are not purebreed.
These dogs do not belong in breeding cause their color is way to wrong.

Yorkshire Terriers were bred from the Paisley Terrier, a smaller version of the Skye Terrier, but
many believe they also come from Maltese. Parti's ARE Yorkies, they just have a color fault.
Yorkies were bred from a bunch of different other kind of dogs too. Every dog comes from
somewhere and I don't think there's anything wrong with breeding Parti's or Biewers, I just
find it ridiculous how expensive they are. But then again, I think Yorkies are expensive too, lol.

exactly why I will probably never own one, they are more expensive then my car and if I can't afford a better car I definitely can't see dishing out 2+ grand for a pup. Not on my budget, if I win a lotto maybe lol

[RachelandSadie]

personally i don't like the colors on them as much as a regular yorkie, but i have no issue with the dogs and think that it's all a matter of taste and perference, i'm not much for any white dogs and prefer the black and tan of the rots, the golden in a retriever, and the colors of the steel blue and tan yorkie myself...

your baby is beautiful and i hope you have loads of fun...all dogs are wonderful no matter what they look like


btw speaking of strange dog looks, yesterday i was at a dog swim party at a pool here in KCMO, there was a black lab, basset mix...it was a rescue and probably an accident but this dog looked like a huge full grown male lab with short stubby little legs..it was the strangest looking dog i'd ever seen, but it's owner loved him and that's all that matters

I seen him too, he is very very adorable and I pet worth every penny but there is no way in the world I could justify spending that kind of money on a dog. NO OFFENCE to anyone but I am just not rich.

i like the parti-colors but may i ask can't some breeder have parti-color and list as biewer for a bigger price? i live in wisconsin and would love a reputable list of breeders near central wisconsin. I have gotten bad replies on wanting a small teenie male but its for a pet and i ask out of necessity. I am disabled with degenerative bone disease and can't have much weight on my lap or to carry. sigh. thanks for listening to me, and due note that there may be others disabled who have to go with tiny in order to have a full blown holding and loving experience with a yorkie.

A pet quality biewer is priced far less than most parti's. Not to mention to be defined a biewer...the lines on the dog's ancestors can be traced back to the original Friedheck line.
