♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | Color change question?? Ok, I know the standard color combos are Blue/Tan, Blue/Gold, Black/Tan, and Black/Gold. And, I know the difference between blue and black now...that's pretty obvious!! BUT, what I don't know is what is "tan" and what is "gold"?? I know I have seen Yorkies with a lighter, almost platinum blonde head and legs, and have also seen some with a much darker, richer color mostly on their little heads, but I don't know which word goes with which color, OR if I'm wrong altogether and the "gold" is something I haven't run across yet?? Please school me yet again .....maybe an example pic of each would help me get it!? Thanks so much! Tara |

| I know what you mean, this is a the same question that I have been trying to find the answer to. So hopefully someone will answer it with pictures... because a picture says a thousand works... lol I also don't understand the coat thing. My dog started out curly, and now it's almost kinky. The curls got cut off with her first hair cut. I also read some where, but can't find it now, that if you shine a light in their eyes around six months... that would tell you what kind of coat they have. |
