| Calling all Darker Yorkies...... I would like to see some puppy pictures of some of the yorkies that are darker as opposed to the lighter coloring. I LOVE the look of the darker ones but amd not sure I could choose one even if I seen it. I have my ritzy and LOVE him , he is a really light silver and light gold but I also like the little dark shaded ones. THANKS Bon |

| The light yorkies have more "silk" whereas the darker ones have a tendancy to have a thicker coat (sometimes called soft, wool). They're harder to keep groomed as well. I don't know how to upload a picture (yet) but here's a link to a really nice male I was showing.

| Yeppers my ritz is like that,His coat is smootha nd silky but after a few days from a good long bath and conditioning his caot seperates and no amount of brushing ( misted of course) will help it is eaither back tot he tub or brushing like crazy for him to look good for about 2 hours then it seperates again and looke really wild. He doesnt really mat up just seperates and needs to be bathed and dried etc. |

Tammy's coat is thicker....she is the darkest....she is next to Tara in pic 1. Here is Casper in pics 2,3,4, at 1yr, at 3yrs and at 5yrs....he is almost silvery white and getting lighter still....I am growing his coat again....so the longer it gets the whiter it's looking ! It is now longer and whiter than this. Debra x | |

I've experienced that the "darker soft coats" tend to tangle closer to the skin and their hair was better with the heavy conditioner that left the layer on kylie. But that's different from a darker silk brought about by good breeding, which I hope to one day get... so if you know of a nice short, dark and hairy stud out there Alana

| I was pretty sure that Sunshine would stay dark as both her mommy and daddy were very dark. Rainbow, I wasn't sure. Daddy is VERY light and Mommy is Sunshine.. very dark. But it sure looks like she is taking after mom. Her brother Beamer actually takes after his dad, but I don't think he is going to get quite as light as dad.
