The blue skin extends down the forelegs to above the stifle. The end of the dog's tail would have a darker blue tip than the dog's back color.
go read up ppl!!!! especially if the other pups look like yorkies and this one came out diff it just a gene thing and im sticking to that oh and here's a pic of coco after her bath is not that good but you can see they have the same shape face/ bone structure!!!! |
This is not a purebred the original poster got. I do pet grooming on a Yorkie Shih Tzu mix and the colour pattern is exactly that of a Yorkie. However the coat is kind of like a thinner Yorkie coat but structure including ears is Shih Tzu.
If both parents look like yorkies but actually are mixed breeds, then in the whelping box breeding the two parents is where it will show up that this is not from two bona fide purebred parents.
I also once groomed a Yorkie/Maltese cross that you would be sure was a purebred Yorkie but was not. You would find out that is wasn't when you bred it even if it was to a pb Yorkie, it would produce pups not looking like a Yorkie even just one while others in the litter may look Yorkie.
