My baby is a cotton coat, and very dark.....probably won't gray out at all. But I thought the rule of silvering is only for showing? It's not a sign of a pure yorkie is it? The papers I have say her parents are all yorkie all the way back in the blood lines.....and she is yorkie in every way to me. The other thing is her ears droop - which we are working on now....but even if they don't stand, again, that is not a "purebread sign" is it? Isn't it just important for showing???
I get tired of the ignorance of others that are snobbish of the "perfect yorkie". Mine might not be perfect for showing, but she sure is perfect for me 
My cutie little baby.....I'm glad she is a bit different. Makes her special......what do you all think? |
I'm not sure about what colour a Yorkies coat should be for showing...but the pictures that i have of Pixies mother being shown at Crufts i see her coat is quite dark..doesn't look 'silver' to me...i always thought a yorkies show coat was always quite dark?
..my breeder is selling a young male of hers to pet home only because his coat is 'not Blue enough' for the show ring.
Your beautiful baby looks PERFECT to me..it's usually pure jealousy that triggers these ignorant comments.
