There's a lovely color on Jewels' face and forehead, I call it blonde and I think that's the proper color name.
On her legs and paws the fur is a caramel color -- is this color technically considered to be tan? She didn't start out with that color and when it came in it kind of looked like "dirty fur" to me and I didn't care for it but I've come to appreciate it now. 
The black fur on most of her body seems to be lightening up considerably at the roots. I suppose that will be her ultimate color when the black fur has all grown out and been cut, not sure how long that will take. The lighter color looks like a faded or "bleached-out" gray. What is the official color name for this? Blue? Steel? Gray? Silver?
(Jewel's dad's fur was dark without the bleached-out look and her mom had a lot of blonde fur.)
And finally, how many months does it take for a Yorkie pup's fur to grow to the ground?
Wish I could post pictures but, well, I'm one of those who can't. Thanks you all.  |
What you have described is the desired Gold and Blue. Your pup will go through a multitude of changes from now until mature. Yorkshire Terriers are considered pups until the age of 2. Full coat is not reached until 2 years. But, that is dependent on the texture, genetics and coat care.
