I am happy to hear she has a great home and you took her regardless.These poor little guys ,it just breaks my heart to see what can happen to some of these pups.Shame on these people who knowingly breed these off color yorkies!!!!!!!!
I have had a blue pup well he looked blue or silver,but fortunatly he did not carry the alopecia gene and has a full black coat and no health problems,and has been neuterd. Blue pups are not the only ones who have health problems though chocolates do and reds also.
I do believe there is a difference in the blues though,those born all blue noses etc and no other markings do not do well at all ,most do not make it out of weaning,those with just blue and tan markings seem to have hair loss and skin disorders,those with 3 colors black tan and white seem to do the best, getting in a thick coat and turning black etc.
Chocolates have hair problems also less hair and more wirey and do not usualy grow a long coat.
Reds do not have as many hair problems can grow nice long soft coats but tend to have health problems.
All yorkies have health and skin problems but it seems to be more prominent in the off colors. |
