| All Tan Yorkies--Rare?? Hi I'm new here. I'm considering a Yorkie, but it wouldn't be in the near future. I want to learn more about the breed first anyway, and this looks like a great place to gain first-hand information about them. Anyway, there is something I've been wondering about: tan yorkies. I've seen a few completely tan yorkies before, and really liked that look. It looks as if that's not the standard though. Is this just a rare coloring in the breed that happens by accident, and is it thus discouraged? Or are there breeders who breed for just this color? I guess I'm wondering the chances of getting one with this coloring. Thanks! |

| Hi and welcome to YT. I am not sure if the all Tan Yorkies are rare or what the standard is about them but they are pretty. My girlfriend had one 6lbs and was all golden I guess you would say. Tiffany lived to be 16yrs. There is a member here who also has one. |

| Oh no, I meant rare as in what are my chances of getting one--as in is it simply a genetic fluke or are they common? I'm just interested in it because I like that color, not because I want one simply because it's "rare." |

| My girl Summerlin is just about all tan, but she is a yorkie chi mix, so that could have a lot to do with it. When I first got her, she had a good bit of black on her face and some down her back, but now almost all of her black is gone. She is a lovely golden color.... I hope that her color continues to fade until it is that beautiful blonde color that one owner on here has... but if it never does, I will be perfectly happy |

| They are not common. It will take more time and effort but if you have your heart set on it you will find one. Watch out for people trying to sell mixes as a purebred or charging a fortune for one. Best of luck.

| In England the Kennel Club considers it a serious fault. If you want a puppy that colour as a pet then I don't suppose it matters. But over here one would be sold cheaper than one that would meet the Kennel Club standard on colour. |

| Yes they are pretty "RARE". I don't know of anyone who breeds for the color at this point. It is usually a fluke when yiou get one. I like the color also. the AKC term for that color is TAN, but they are usually referred to as "Goldens" |
