This is what is posted on the YTCA website:
Parti-Color Yorkshire Terriers?
Do not be fooled into buying one of these dogs. Now that Designer Dogs are the rage, the “new” Parti-Color Yorkie is certain to draw attention. While we have had problems in the past with “rare gold” Yorkshire Terriers being advertised, the parti-color is a new one! While some breeds have an occasional mismark and some breeds do have a gene for a white dog, we do not. Had there been a problem with white markings, piebald dogs, or white dogs, it would have been addressed in our Standard. Due to unscrupulous breeders advertising parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers at premium prices, our members voted unanimously at our annual meeting to add a disqualification for these and other off colored dogs.
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.

So then after reading the above then it would be alright for Parti/Biewer Breeders to start saying YTCA members are liars and do not care about their dogs because they repeatedly bred them knowing LS was in the lines and didn't care because winning in the show ring is/was everything? How about dogs repeatedly bred with LP. Many of these top show breeders de-bark their dogs, many of these show breeders dogs never touch grass/ground until their show days are over. Or that some of the top dogs have been sold for over $10,000? Show me the proof where the colors of the dog (except for the blue born) could kill a dog...This is wrong and is just plain scare tactics. Designer Dogs???? These dogs had pedigree's from the Kennel Club of the UK.
Where is the education? Where is the possibilities...even they are putting down what Joan Gordon has said about the Parti's. She had Parti's in her lines. How dare they say these are all unscrupulous breeders when breeders have tried to do what is right with the Parti's and get them into the show ring and geez guess who won't allow them. I would love to know what the YTCA thought of Raymond Antonucci (Parquin lines) because he didn't have a problem walking into a show ring with his Parti Yorkies. If he was so disreputable why did YTCA breeders seek out his lines and used him to show their show dogs?
And frankly the only breeder/club/website that has provided proof of any kind is
THE PARTI YORKSHIRE TERRIER CLUB - Home. She bought and paid for studbooks, she bought and paid for old books and numerous other things and has posted it on the website...I see no proof on the YTCA website what so ever but I see people dictating and trying to scare people without any proof....just opinions....nothing more.
A final thought:
Do you really think Nelson Mandela** wants to create a website celebrating his freedom and liberation and release. Should he thank those who always pushed for his freedom and rights? Or thank those who forever wanted to keep him suppressed, hidden, erased?
** South African anti-apartheid activist. The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other alleged crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid. Mandela served 27 years in prison; Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, most notably the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election
