| Information on Yorkies Hello! I'm interested in getting a Yorkie but there is sooo many kinds and I have sooo many questions so I'm hoping to get some help... I've soon a ton of adorable babies, (brown and black coloring) do their colors change when they grow up? I've seen some Yorkies that have some silver color to them. I really like how the Yorkies that only have brown and black look, and I don't want to get a Yorkie whose color will change to a white/silverish color. Is there a way to tell? If so what are those Yorkies called... I currently own a Maltese and I find the Yorkies are very similar expect for the coloring of course... What differences do both of these dogs have? Thanks |

| Good Luck finding the exact color you want... some Yorkies don't stop changing color until 18 months. Sometimes you can tell by the parents but there is no real way to guarentee what they will look like. I thought I didn't want my yorkie to have silver either... but my male has a little silver on his head and I like it... maybe it is because I am over the moon for him now and color doesn't mean as much

| Your asking the almost impossible. All yorkies are born black and tan, but as they grow they change their coloring. Or I should say the majority do. It is very hard to find the dark ones that will stay dark. You can't even in reality go by the parents because there could always be a light one somewhere in the genes and sooner or later it will come out. The only way to tell is to get one about 1 1/2 years old as usually by then they are done changing colors. Now that I have said that I do know a lady and she is a YT member that does have a darker one for sale. It's a male and he is 6 months old. Search for FireFish on here and pm her. She lives in Ohio. Good Luck. |

| Info on Getting A Yorkie In answer to the first part of your question "So many different kinds" there is only ONE kind of Yorkshire Terrier. Sometimes one will can be very little or one can turn out to be a tub butt (grand daughters term) but, no matter what the size they are just a Yorkshire the sweetest yet boldest little dog I know of. As for Color, like the others have stated that is almost impossbile if not totally impossible to know for certain. AKC calls for a standard in color of either Bl & Gold or Bl & Tan. There are puppies out there that have a darker color even after reach 1 year old but, there is nothing saying that they won't change colors even after that age. As for the Blonde color you spoke of I can't say that I have ever seen a Blonde Yorkie. I have seen Brown or Chocolate colors and even a puppy that was born blue however, if I am correct on my knowledge these are caused by a ressive gene and I personally would never breed to get any of these colors. I wish you all the luck in finding the right Yorkie baby to add to your family but I would suggest that you do alittle research on this beautiful little breed. Granted they are in the canine family but there is such a difference between them and any other breed. If I can be of any help to you in your search or if I can get any further information to you that would help you make the right choice please feel free to PM me. I'm not a professional breeder by any means of the word but, I had to learn what I know the hard way and if I can help anyone else not make that same mistakes then I'm a happy Yorkie Mom
