If your AKC male "hooked up" with an AKC parti yorkie and made parti color yorkies, then yes, they could be AKC registered. If you want to be certain you are not going to have parti color pups, then I would suggest you select another breeder, especially if you do not know if your male is a carrier.

When registering parti color yorkies, you do have to mail in the paperwork (there is no online registration), along with pictures of the parti color yorkie. I believe the parti color code is written in, unless the forms have changed.

Just what "treatment" has the OP received in your opinion? I think the OP has received excellent advice from those familiar with the parti and how to reg them. Responses such as this is why parti threads get heated and closed. But that has come to be expected in any thread containing the word "parti" on here lately.:rolleyes:

You haven't stepped on any toes. Don't even know why you would think that. Sounds like the breeder is being open and honest about the parti lines being in her pups. If you do not want the pie-bald gene in your future pups..walk away! It's that simple.
By all means...check out the YTCA breeders. But be forwarned...parti pups have popped up in a few of their litters as well. :)
But to answer your original question...the parti yorkie is indeed a pure bred yorkie and is registerable with the AKC.

LOL!! I was wondering about the "treatment" too. ;) There was advice given and no where was anyone getting mad/upset. :confused:

Good luck with your new puppy. It sounds like you are not completely trusting your breeder so you might want to look elsewhere. Maybe FlDebra would know of some that she could suggest since she breeds traditionals.

Why the smiley face? This is what happens when you.......mix. Stick with the standard, and do not cross for dollars.

Every single dog breed is a mix, otherwise they'd all look like wolves.

So you are able prove that the parti color is a result of other breeds of dogs being introduced AFTER the Yorkshire terrier became a breed in the late 1800's and not as a result of the unregistered, heritage unknown dogs who started this breed, dogs like the Maltese? Maltese are stated in many early historical books as being used in the make up of the YT - Maltese are the extreme example of piebald.

I take it that you are a Parti Breeder? How many of your dogs won BOB at a AKC show? Has the price for a Parti dropped in the past few years. People still getting $5000-8000 a pup? Why water down the breed standard? There is an AKC breed standard. 2 wrongs do not make a right. That is the last I will say on this as I have a few Parti Followers that love to report me, you know, for my own protection. Wink wink

Karen was explaining that the parti has shown up in show breeder lines as well and then you say, in response, to stick with the standard and do not cross for dollars. Are you also saying that the show breeder(s) that now know that their line is producing partis are doing it for the money? They are still showing their carriers, by the way....so who knows, maybe there will be a parti BOB one day.

They are still breeding, showing and selling their line to other show breeders so the sky's the limit for the future of the parti. :) It's a recessive gene and it's here to stay...especially with the carriers being shown (and bred).

YES - parti colored yorkies CAN be registered with the AKC BUT they can NOT be show dogs, I think that's what you're asking. If you're buying a dog from a breeder who's dogs are AKC registered, she will have already registered the puppies, you just have to put the dog in your name with the AKC. IF you decided to breed your dogs and they are both registered with the AKC, the whole litter WILL be able to be registered with the AKC, parti or traditional. :) You're not planning on producing "show quality" puppies (otherwise you wouldn't be purchasing from someone breeding with a parti, so that's not an issue. Many people here have AKC registerd parti Yorkies, but they're not show dogs, that's the difference.;) There are thousands of dogs registered with the AKC who do not meet the perfect standards of a show dog, doesn't mean they can't be registered.

Now Shodanusmc, you know I am a parti breeder, we've had a few discussions before along these lines ;)

We're not watering down the breed standard; we're adding nothing that already wasn't in the YT gene pool. The YTCA has made it impossible for one of our dogs to win BOB at an AKC show but it's ok for off colored, soft coated black and golds to win BOB or a light blue to win BOB? You say two wrongs don't make a right (not sure I know what two wrongs you're talking about) well, a double set of standards don't make it right either. :rolleyes:

Steve, I think it has been established that not all parti breeders are breeding for the money, anymore than all traditional color, specifically exhibitor/breeders are breeding for money. Also, it has been established that parti color yorkies are not mixes, otherwise I don't believe AKC would ever have allowed them to be registered. Are there mixes out there, yes I'm sure there are. Have traditional color yorkie breeders had DNA and registration problems with their kennels......yes, most certainly!

Why is it so hard for those against parti color yorkies to understand that there are those that have fallen in love with parti color yorkies and have an interest in continuing the color variation? They are not breeding for the love of money, but for the love of the variation. There are many traditional color exhibitor/breeders, that although they would never openly admit it, are definitely breeding for profit (some with well known kennel names).

The mantra is ........"they are breeding for their next show dog....come on now.....just how many litters a year does an exhibitor need to produce to have that next show puppy? Not near as many as some of them produce. It's not unusual for show breeders to charge a minimum of $2,000 for one of their pups, and more if it is a show prospect being sold. From my experience, that amount isn't much different than what is charged for a parti or Biewer pup.

Btw.....perhaps some partis or Biewer pups do sell for $5-8K, as do some traditional color pups. I've not seen either advertised on YT and would think one foolish to pay that amount....but hey, it's not my business what someone pays for their pup. If the seller and buyer come to an agreed price, that is between them.

How did I know this thread was going to go in this direction;)

OP - if you're really concerned, don't buy from that breeder:) I also suggest that you learn a whole LOT more before you even consider breeding anyway. AKC papers isn't even the half of it. If you want to buy one of the traditional colored pups from the breeder you have spoken to, get it nuetered and spend as much time as you can learning about the breed and everything involved in breeding from someone who really experienced, then down the road you can reconsider it.

Everyone's getting all crazy here about partis (again:rolleyes:) and no one is talking to this person about the fact that she is wanting to breed and still knows little about Yorkies. OP, please don't think I'm being mean here, I'm truely just trying to answer your questions and help you, but I honestly don't think you're ready for breeding yet if you don't understand the process of registering. Keep learning first, maybe find a breeding mentor:)

When I read this thread yesterday all I could think was~poor thing had no idea Pandora's Box was opened. :presents2: My suggestion ask for this thread to be closed since we can all see just where this is headed~again. :rolleyes: The OPer of any thread can request by clicking the little triangle on the left under the avatar and requests it to be closed without reason. This will continue for days ad nauseam continuing on this path and eventually be closed anyway. Why just not end the misery now.

I'm not sure if you planned on breeding from your posts, but please do a lot more research prior to crossing that bridge. Welcome to YorkieTalk and please don't let your first posting deter your questions in the future.

:thumbup::thumbup:

And that's the best part!! :D

Thanks for all info. I just wanted to know why the parti yorkie was not listed on Reg paper and if it could be akc. Where I could get the info. I finally got my answer. Sorry for such a touchy subject. I dont really now what questions are ok to ask now. . Its everyones op on what they like and we all have different ones. That was not the question anyways. To focused on you alls argument to answer a simple question about Akc info nothing more or nothing less. I did not expect so many rude coments.=[ Hope you all can quit fighting. I have had litters before with other dogs and I will not breed tell I know everything about the yorkie breed . They all are so pretty=). Thanks Trisha

That's very wise of you, glad you have decided to wait until you know more. After about five years or more of studying the breed, attending shows, learning under a mentor, then you will be much better prepared to breed Yorkies to ideally improve the breed or at the minimum breed healthy to standard dogs.

Good for you to decide to educate yourself:thumbup:

Why should this thread be closed? She was seeking information on the parti yorkie. Why must all parti threads be closed? Why can't the parti breeders, fanciers and just others that want to learn discuss parti's in a thread without the ones that do not like them always coming in and making snide remarks. If You don't like them thats fine but always disrupting the parti threads with your anti parti prejudice comments is really disgusting.

Trishaandtim here is part of the letter from AKC allowing the parti and a pic of the bottom part of the AKC application and what you put on it to register a parti color. You must send in Pictures of your parti with the application. The code for parti markings is 014.

The subject has been beat to death!
It's the only time that some people participate AND it always end in the thread getting heated and finally locked. :rolleyes:
Her question has been answer so no need for this to go on for 50 pages as per usual.
It's a broken record.

For the record, I don't have an issue with Partis :confused: Take a look at my Bogey......he's sure looks like a Parti to me and many others agree with me too. Bogey is a PARTI! My Doodlebug looks like every Golden Yorkie that I have ever seen advertised for sale both as a puppy and now as an adult. So why do you think I have a problem with Partis?

It's the nastiness that goes along with the Parti threads that I can't stomach. :thumbdown I didn't even know that Parti's existed until I came to YT. Up until I started paying attention to the tone and attacks on the Parti threads I didn't have an opinion one way or another. :) But believe me, after some of the things that I have read on all those locked threads it pretty much sealed the deal for me along with many others that silently read the repetitive postings regarding the Parti debate. But after bringing it to everyone's attention that is what has turned me off to the Parti THREADS. :thumbup:

Now that I have opened my mouth and spoke my mind ~ let the attacks begin. There pretty much isn't anything left to be said about me at this point-short of telling everyone that I raise wolves. :rolleyes:

Alot of new people do not know that you all have beat the subject to death. So they learn by new threads being posted and parti breeders answering. Not by some of you continuously berating the parti breeders in every new thread that is opened by new members asking.

Who is "you all" :confused: Are you referring to me? I've never really posted in Parti threads and mostly just read them trying to figure out why they go on for days and days. I love my boys and do not want anyone to think less of them because they are not a traditional Yorkie's colors. They are both blonde and have no blue or black anywhere to be found. I always thought they were less Yorkie then all the traditional colors but you all swayed to me realize they are just not traditional in color. Bogey and Doodlebug are my beautiful babies no matter what anyone says :)

I'm headed back over to Facebook. ;) Hope you have a good night.

Why the smiley face?

The YTCA has it posted on their website that the parti is a designer mix and the public should not be fooled into buying one. I LOVE and find comfort in the FACT that parti pups from top show lines (and a YTCA breeder) were lucky enough to be born in the hands of a breeder who didn't see the need to "dispose" of them, and keep it hush hush. This will happen more and more now that the show lines "dirty little secret's" keep slipping out. :)

LOL! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this debate! The long and short of it is...... YTCA is NOT going to change its standard. I am neutral on this subject because I believe the Parti's are beautiful and deserve their place..... with that said..

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Horse Showing/ registry BUT.... There is this little story about The American Quarter Horse. They have strict standards concerning white. It can't go above the knee, and it is only allowed to cover a certain percentage of the face. Registered Quarter Horses started "cropping out" with white... these horses were considered a flaw, and not allowed to show.

Sooner or later someone got smart and started the Paint Horse Club of America..... They are basically a "colored" Quarter Horse. Now if a Paint has a "throw back" that is solid it is considered " breeding stock" because it "carries" the color gene recessively. A Homozygenous (sp) stallion is worth a lot of money because it takes the guess work out of whether you will get your color.

The long and short of what I am saying is.... Why bother with papers if you will never be able to show the qualities of what it is you are breeding in your line? The only way to do so is to have it separated from the line. It is too bad AKC can't see this... or does it take the breeders of the Parti line to do this?

On a last note... I thought AKC was now recognizing Biewer as its on Registered Line?

The American Quarter Horse Assoc (AQHA) and the American Morgan Horse Assoc (AMHA) both had the high white rule, which denied registration to horses with white above the knee but due to many people fighting to have those rules changed, in 1996 AMHA rescinded the rule and a few years later so did AQHA. Now horses with white above the knee can be registered. My AMHA mare produced one of the first registered high white foals (also duel registered with a pinto registry) a few month after the repeal ... so moral of the story is that things DO and CAN change in breed clubs and registries.

Closed at request of OP.
