| Wanted: SILVER Yorkie Hi there, I have been searching high and low for an all silver Yorkie, but have had no luck so far. Unfortunately, I'm not able to upload a picture of the type of Yorkie I'm looking for (I think my file may be too big), but if anyone on these forums has an all silver Yorkie, or knows of a breeder who may have such a puppy, PLEASE contact me and I can send you a picture of the coloring I am looking for. I'm in Olympia, Washington, but am willing to travel (within reason) to pick up the puppy or pay for shipping. If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! |

| Ive never heard of an all silver yorkie. There are some that turn silver as adults but they have tan heads. There are blue yorkies that are born a blue color but they can have health problems and people dont usually search them out to buy them for that reason

| I suppose I should have been more specific in my original post. I currently have an adult Yorkie right now that is ALMOST all silver with a little gold on her head and legs. Her body, however, is silver. I'm NOT looking for a dog with genetic mutations. My Yorkie right now may not conform to breed standards but I think she is absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. I love this coloring but have not seen many like this. I was looking for this coloring because I think it is beautiful. I have several Yorkies so I know about what boxes there are on AKC registration papers (by the way, my mostly silver girl is registered). I understand that puppies are born dark and don't change color until they are adults. If anyone plans on breeding a dog that is this coloring or knows of a breeder who may do so, please contact me. Thanks so much. |

| Yorkies are born black and tan. As they mature some go light to a silver where the black was but the furnishings are either gold or tan, sometimes almost to a cream colour. As someone else mentioned, pups born blue are a problem, double recessive gene I believe causes it and they come with a bunch of health issues. |

| Hi Lorraine, I think cream would be a good description. My Belle was born black and tan but turned lighter and lighter as she got older. She's eight now and has a very light tan/cream/gold-ish head and legs, and silver body. I should have been more descriptive in my first post. I just love this coloring and would love to get another one like her, but it's turning out to be quite a challenge. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Because it is considered an AKC color fault, it's going to be hard to find a reputable breeder that is purposely breeding for this color. If your heart is set on this coloring, you might want to look in to adopting a slightly older ( a couple of months old) yorkie whose color is starting starting to break so you won't be disappointed. I don't know about what the AKC papers say, coloring wise. But I would venture to guess that most silver yorkies are registered as black and tan because the papers are turned in before the color breaks. PS- I have a silver haired beauty, too.

| The ones that lose colour are not a genetic mutation, they have just gone too light. It is hard to find one specifically that light unless you get an older one that the breeder knows will go light. YOu can't tell when they are under about 4 or 5 months old and then it can be a best guess. |

| All 4 of my Yorkies started out gold/tan and black and now most of their body is light gray especially my boys when their hair is longer. look in my albums.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Again, this is someone just trying to mislead the unsuspecting public. Joey had a silver head until he was about a year and then it seemed to change overnight. Yorkies go through lots of changes the first three years, and no one should pay extra for a "fault".
