| Help - Yorkie Color Confusion - Frustrated I need your help on this one. I am going crazy. I have been puppy shopping and have found 2 beautiful black and tan babies that I adore, but when I am shown photos of the parents, they are either very silver or blond/light gold. What gives? I want a yorkie that has dark fur as an adult. Not that I don't love all Yorkies and all colors, but I always wanted a dark and tan yorkie. How do I know what color the puppy is going to be when he is an adult. Do they always look like the parents? |

| color You have to find a breeder you trust to sell you a darker York...and one who breeds from dark stock..if the parents are dark, the chances of the pup going very light are slim...if both parents are light,, the chances of it being dark are slim..if the parents are one of each, then the breeder must determine which will stay favor the darker parent..and then it is difficult honing in on true adult color...I can tell one who will be light or dark..but it is those "shades" of light and dark that are a crap shoot... |
