The parti has been AKC registered for 10 years now. This was the first step since they were registered that helps in legitimizing the parti yorkie as something more then just a money maker for BYB's. I for one am thrilled about that!

Totally Agree

If they are not in the same grouping as the Yorkshire Terrier what Standard will they be judged on?

[Breezeaway]

It is the Yorkshire terrier standard except for color.

I am so very happy for you guys!
your babies are so beautiful - the world should see them!

I just wanted to clear up the Group that the parti will be in, I received an email from John and this is what it says.

We have the Yorkie in Companion as well. Our site doesn't reflect it, it will get changed.

Sincerely,

NAKC President


So the Parti Color Yorkshire Terrier is in the same group as the Traditional Yorkshire Terrier.

Yes that does make it better.
I'm happy that you addressed my concerns. It should make all of you feel better also. The, parti colored yorkies should not have to take a back seat to their natural heritage.

Mr. Biewer wanted to show his tri colored yorkies as yorkies.. he was not allowed to do so BUT they said.. you can make a standard.. call them something else.. THEN you can show them.. so.. that's what he did.. WALLA.. new breed. Instead of insisting they were a color variation of the yorkie.. which they are and which a Parti is.. he went with the "new breed" I'll show and get it out there.

So.. now we have the Biewer being it's OWN breed.. I can see your concerns. Some of us have been fighting that battle for years. However, I don't believe the chances of the same thing happening now with the Parti's are as great.. more people are aware of what's going on.. they have already been AKC accepted, DNA testing has proven the lineage and we now have much better forms of communication then was available back in Germany some 30 odd years ago..

So.. even though I see your point and WISH people would all just get on board with the idea these are ALL the same dogs.. most people just AREN'T there yet. I see the change coming slowly.. little by little as more people open up their minds, start to THINK and look at what's going on instead of just bury their heads. (sorry.. she jumps off her soap box) I think we take what we've been given and introduce the rest of the world to these beautiful dogs.. hold tight to our beliefs that these are a variant color of a yorkie and keep our goals in mind in all we do. The more people are exposed, the more questions they ask, the more they learn, the more they think.. the closer we get.

Thank you for at least listening to what I had to say and trying to understand. If hope you are right. and now learning that they are in the same group as the Yorkshire Terrier I feel much better.

I want the, partis to move forward too, but I want to see it done the right way and not cutting corners or settling.

I wish the NAKC had shows in the midwest. I would love to go to one, but cannot be away from home for days.

I had heard that the traditional yorkie was in the same group to begin with...but was a bit confused since the NAKC site said otherwise. Didn't want to say it was so until I was 100 % certain of the facts. So glad that it is now cleared up.

Deb, thank you for taking the time to post this.

That is great ! Debbie , Thanks for all the hard work that it took to get the Parti accepted to be shown in the companion group.
This is great news !

[yorkiegirl2]

This is very exciting and a great accomplishment for the PYTC .
Deb has worked hard to advance the Parti’s so our members and others now have a place to show.
This is also a great opportunity to educate the public about the beautiful Parti Yorkshire Terrier.
