| Is there such a thing.... as a white yorkie? Gracie and I were at PetsMart today and this woman came over to go nutso over Gracie. She then proceeded to say she has 3 teacup yorkies at home. Then she said she had her eye on a "white" yorkie that she wants to buy. I said oh, a blonde yorkie? She said no, a white one. I have never heard of a white Yorkie. Is there such a thing or is this yet another poorly educated "yorkie" owner? If there is such a thing, I would very much like someone to post a picture of one. We had fun a PetsMart though. Gracie got a red "hat" with glittery devil horns on it for Halloween. It is a bit too big but hopefully she will wear it well by Halloween. We met a 15 week old Chihuahua. Her mom was letting her walk on the floor. I sure hope she had her 16 week shots! She was a cutie and got almost as much attention as Gracie did. There was a dog training class going on, 3 large dogs were learning proper manners for how to behave when meeting other dogs and people. The trainer caught Gracie and I watching, and stopped the class to comment on what a cutie Gracie is. She then said to her class, "If you ever want a small dog, that is the kind to get". Was I a proud mama or what? She was obviously a well educated trainer! Ha Ha Ha.

| Tan and silver maybe. Never heard of white. Sometimes the silver can look white before it turns darker.

| Maybe she meant a "Parti" colored Yorkie. They have a white base with colored markings. Someone on Petfind (or something) tried selling an "all white Yorkie" and none of us here on YT thought it resembled a Yorkie. |

| Maybe a parti or if she said solid white maybe it was a maltese and she thought it was a yorkie...

| Parti yorkies and biewers both have a lot of white on them. There are some on this site, and we know a biewer who has a lot of white...he's a real cutie pie!!!

| This summer I saw what appeared to be a white Yorkie - it was actually a Maltese/Yorkie mix. It looked completely 100% Yorkie and was even very small - maybe about 5 lbs. It was the cutest little dog I EVER saw!!!!!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | it was probably a biewer that she was talking about. they are yorkies with a piebald white gene. exactly like yorkies in every way, except coloring. they are gorgeous and i'd get one if i had the money.

| My friend has a snow white one and even tho it is not the correct color, it is a purebred yorkie and is the prettiest one she has got. She is a breeder and tells everyone that she only breeds pets, not show dogs but I don't even like the look of her yorkies. |

| what about the yorkies from germany? the ones that are black gold & white? i forget what they are called ( biewer ?) but if it's all white most likely it's a mix and she just left that part out of the conversation. |

| Could any one answer this, are the "partis" basically a mix breed. Between a Biewer and a Standard Yorkshire Terrier? I know it can get kind of muddy here. The biewers are becoming recognized on their own. |

| Oh goodness, it won't get "muddy" for that question. A Parti colored is a purebred. It can be the result of 2 purebred standard colored parents. But I do know what you mean by "muddy". |

| No! Nope, never heard of such a thing unless it's a mut(mixed breed)...I could be wrong but I doubt it. I hope for the lady's sake she knows what she is getting and not being taken. Did you tell her that u didn't think there was a such thing as a white Yorkie? Poor lady I hope she doesn't get taken, but then again any dog no matter what breed will always make a great companion so whatever the price may be they r all well worth it. I just hope she gets what she is looking for.
