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 Yorkshire Terrier is a tan dog with a blue saddle. The rare gold Yorkie is actually a dog that appears as such due to an improper saddle pattern. Show breeders have seen this and commonly call it running gold. When the dog is cut down, you can see that the blue saddle does not come down far enough.
