Do you all get alot of this coloring?
I uploaded a picture of Salem. A yorkie born with alot of white on him. Hes 3 weeks here.
Im open to any view you may have. I get alot of points of white on my yorkie puppies. He has more then most.
In Theory or truth, you can even say they arent full blooded if you want too! (dont go there!)...........

Seriously is this typical?
I invite any of your advise Id just like some of your expertise or theory!.............you can even fight if ya want!

I have never had that much white as with this one female she throws some white on her females paws. I know it makes no sense but this only happens with her females and it was passed down to her from her mom.....

Princess,
Well it sure makes sense. Its genetics.
If I understood genetics more I might be able to understand better.
The female who produced this lil precious boy also produces littler females but the boys are always bigger? Born bigger and as adults grow bigger too?

I don't know anything about this, but just wanted to say that Salem sure is a cutie!!

StewiesMom · 02-26-2006, 01:51 PM

Salem is very cute. I don't know if this is true, but I've heard that puppies who have some white on them usually grow up to have luxuriously silky coat

Stewie's back paws have some white and his chest has a little white diamond

luvdorkyyorkies · 02-26-2006, 02:08 PM

Thanks for your replies, they are fun for me! Id love more.

I love theories! I love your thoughts! Everyone of them are all appreciated.
This is what I do.

I sure hope that is true Abert has some white on his chest.

This female I was refering to has a great coat and so did her mom, both her girls from the last litter have great coats now but started off scraggly looking.
The boys never have gotten the white on them but the girls do. I never did get that.. And the girls have been tiny little ones. Go figure....

Really wow. Albert's coat is scraggly looking i guess you can say his coat is thin but it is silky and he is a tiny 1lb 12oz at his last vet check and he is 7 months. I have been told that some yorkies that have thin hair sometimes grow up to have gorgeous flowing coats.

That has proven to be so at least with these litters.....

YorkieRose · 02-26-2006, 02:29 PM

That much white is perfectly acceptable...I can not see the back, but it looks black. The feet hair will grow off and the chest will blend into gold...he will look like he never had any white...

Princessyorkies · 02-26-2006, 02:33 PM

On one of my females she kept the white on her paws. But it blends in with her colors.

YorkieRini · 02-26-2006, 02:45 PM

I have only had a little white on a chest. It's always blended in. Don't what to tell you. But he has a budgy belly

luvdorkyyorkies · 02-26-2006, 03:07 PM

I have really enjoyed your input.

As YorkieRose ( a true expert) has said "The puppies coats have grown into gold" You really can never notice it ( the white I mentioned), unless you truly know of its appearance there earlier...with birth alot of times it doesnt show later. At Maturity white makes the gold very rich looking, because the light makes the gold at the points even more rich looking.
Just my opinion but I have thought about it.

whispersmom2 · 02-26-2006, 05:35 PM

I have pics of some of my own puppies and another from a friend and I have permission to share her pics. I will e-mail it if someone wants to post it. Gawsh, I am so puter-stoopid!
The white has been cussed and discussed so much and the best we come up with it, that we have our own opinions as to the origin. Maybe those Paisley Terriers or Maltese introduced into the lines when the Yorkie breed was being developed. Who knows??
