| A video of my girl :) I hope it worked So I am not sure if this will work as I have never attempted to link a video from FaceBook but let's see if this works https://www.facebook.com/tina.mansfi...user_video_tab If the video works the traits that can be seen are the fringe of long hair that frames her much shorter hair and the paler eyes that are almost a liver brown. What wouldn't be as clear is the backs of her ears which are lightly covered in a peach fuzz so fine that they appear bald. I have noted no hair growth since I brought her home almost 3 weeks ago. The "true" blue yorkies that I have seen as a comparison are owned by people who saw them as newborns prior to them turning a chocolate colour. They were from breeders who discovered the issue and kept the pups themselves (no more breeding of the parent dogs as well) The owners said that Sophie looked just like their little ones did at her age. Without scientific proof all I have is worry and speculation. I am simply so glad that I have a place to express these concerns with others who care about their pups the way that I do. I really hope that kit arrives soon |

| Here is a link to the best photos of an adult blue-born Yorkie that I have been able to find: https://www.facebook.com/shanonSpark...54940083479412 . Note the thin hair, light gray nose, and wrinkled skin. This is a dog that was up for adoption from a YTCA-affiliated North Texas rescue organization a year ago. |

| I feel sick... I just googled ""blue born" yorkie puppies" and came across the following photos: Yokie Happiness I have a suspicion that these are real blue-born Yorkie puppies (they have gray hair, lighter colored noses, and strange eyes), and the breeder considers them to be a "designer" dog. I'm feeling a little sick... Edit: I'm not talking about the ones at the top of the page. You have to click on the small thumbnails further down the page to view them. I'm hoping that these are really chocolate Yorkies and that the photo color is off, but I don't know... Last edited by pstinard; 01-10-2018 at 11:16 AM. |

| pstinard Thank you so much for continuing to provide me with information. Given the rarity of blue borns it's very hard to find. I am of course still hoping that the D-locus is negative. |

| No not necessarily. The breeder would know the parents and the parents might have been lighter in color or one of them might have been lighter in color or they might know from past litters that they were lighter. My boy is very light in color where as my girls are much darker.
