Default Coat Color and Weight

A couple questions for YT.

At what age do yorkies generally achieve their adult coat coloring? I noticed that the roots of Toby's coat are a gray/silver color so I am thinking he might be a gray/silver and gold Yorkie. On the top of his head between his ears the coloring of his hair is so light it almost looks like he's balding! Just wondering if the gray/silver roots are an indication of what his adult color will be or if that is normal for all puppies.

Also at what age do yorkies generally achieve their full adult weight. Toby is 4 months and is probably now about 3 lbs. I was told he would probably be on the smaller side, but wasn't sure when yorkies generally top out at their adult weight.

One more question, right now I'm feeding him Nature's Logic canned food, which he loves! Should I expect to change his food once he's bigger or do you guys just continue to feed your yorkies the same food as adults.

I love this site and you guys have been such a help to me since Toby is my first puppy ever. It truly is an amazing experience! I can't imagine my life without him now.

And yesterday Toby finally started walking on a leash!!! It was awesome...now that he knows he's supposed to walk not just sit on the ground while I hold the leash, he thoroughly seemed to enjoy walking around the park.

Sorry if that was a lot. I'm done.
