I am just not sure what either looks like.

If someone would be able to post pictures of each, or guide me to a website showing the differences, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The blue is relative in the eyes of the beholder. It's difficult to explain. I suggest that you contact an experienced show breeder that is very familiar with the standard.

I'd also suggest that you subscribe to the Yorkshire Terrier Magazine.
