| Do you mean it had no gold or tan on it? If so I have never heard of that. No dont feed garlic or onions to your dog.

| Well if it has gold on it at all it is just a normal yorkie. Some people give garlic pills for flea prevention. I wouldnt give garlic because it says in large doses it is toxic to them. How do you know how much to give?

| A lady near me has a yorkie girl a little bit older than Twinkle. When I first met her the pup's head was almost entirely silver, whereas Twinkle had alot of tan on her face. When I commented on her girls unusual colouring she said that she was a 'purebred silver teacup'I just smiled and said 'that's nice' I see her now and her yorkie's colouring has changed to a tan face, chest and legs and is a little bit bigger than Twinkle - who weighs in at 8lb. I wonder if this will be the case for the lady with the 'whitings' yorkie xxx

To the OP, if the puppy is white, maybe it was a parti (or party??) yorkie.

| I got into a LONG conversation with a lady at the petsmart in Norman Oklahoma one day when my other dog got flees real bad and we were trying to get rid of then over the summer...... she too said to feed all animals garlic, AND bath them and the KIDS in vinegar to keep us all good, AND vinegar in the eyes to get rid of cataracts in your eyes!! (if I even spelled that right??) Careful who you believe, always check with the vet! Better safe than sorry!

Senior Yorkie Talker | yeah you def hear some off the wall things now a days and have to be careful!! many people like others to think that they have a one of a kind something or another! the coloring of the pup is nothing of a parti breed either so i am guessing she got ripped off with a pup that might not have good bloodlines. after a certain age they should start to loose their tan and black and get more silver but thats way after puppy days i thought not at a young age hopefully he will be ok the only thing you can do is inform people and if they choose to take it or not then thats their prob. |

| No idea about whiting Yorkies but I would not allow Ellie to have garlic too often. A large amount one time or small amounts over a period of time can permanently denature hemoglobin. There is some connection between garlic and anemia, dermatitis and asthmatic attacks. There is no reason to give it and there can possibly be problems from it, so why take the chance? I think there are safer ways of taking care of fleas...
