| What color is this????? Ok, so I was browsing my local classifieds and came across an add for quality yorkies, yadayadayada, and clicked to see. The puppy is very cute as most yorkie pups are. There was a picture of mom and dad, so I clicked and this is what I saw. I have never seen anything like it, even after looking at the hundreds of pics of everyone's babies. I am assuming this is the father, as the pic of the other adult had a red bow. Is this a black and gold?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm no expert, but it looks like the standard "blue and gold" to me. Some yorkies heads are a darker gold, like this one and some have a lighter "gold" which is more of a beige. The "blue" refers to the saddle and is more of a charcoal black color, not a black black, it has a metallic sheen to it, and it called blue, it's difficult to tell from this picture the saddle color, and the photo may have been enhanced. By the way ribbon colors do not denote sex, many males wear red, and it's a favorite color for yorkies.

| Mine are blue and gold also, I have just never seen a yorkie with such a dark face and that bright red/gold. It was really interesting to me. I am familiar with the breed standard, including color requirements, but I haven't ever seen anything like that one.

| That's what I thought! I keep looking and it looks like he has black on the bridge of his nose..... It kind of also looks like he has pinkish or reddish skin around his eyes..

Donating YT 500 Club Member | He's certainly dark in color, without knowing the age of the dog pictured it's hard to say. Could be a younger dog with a coat that hasn't lightened. Or, could be a soft coated dog and the coat (blue) will never get lighter. It can take a couple of years for the tan to completely clear if it's going to.

| he looks to be the color of this little gal of mine. She was awarded her UKC champion title a couple of weeks ago. She is 17 months old. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | That darker color just under his eyes looks like it could be either wet hair or tear stained hair and gives it almost a black appearance.

| Dee she is GORGEOUS!! Much prettier than the other guy! Congratulations on her championship, you must be sooo excited! That is such an interesting color, I guess I am so used to seeing the lighter guys, the darker ones are just striking.

| That is a black and gold yorkie. I have a black and gold yorkie boy. I love this color but it is a lot harder to come by these days. I would love to find a black and gold girl. Here is my Scampy boy...
