they are real yorkies, but they have a genetic defect which effects their coloring and makes them this chocolate color...... i read quite a bit about them in a few articles and they said they are NOT exotic animals and breeders should NOT be charging an arm and a leg for these animals and claiming that they are.... the article said these pups do not live as long as normal yorkies, i dont know if they are prone to more health problems that makes them die sooner but i think the article said they probably wouldnt live past 8 or nine years (10 at the utmost) |
