I think it looks quite cute myself. My other two Yorkies are girls and at 7.5yrs and 4 yrs have perfect pigment and perfect colour of coat....but I love them all for being them, and I choose not to show them. Obviously if you are showing you would avoid a pup with poor pigment....and the same if you are breeding to show.....and anyone buying puppies with pink bits should be told it is a fault.  Hope this helps......  Debra x x x Casper when I bought him at 19 months Casper now - he is lighter than this though as his coat was clipped here, and it is growing in now and is silvery white. Casper's stripe on his nose ! My Tiny trio - Tara 7.5yrs, Casper 5 yrs, Tammy 4 yrs, > all 4lbs. |
Sorry, mine are so full of faults, I can't keep up. So, I have no info for the original poster. However, I just have to remark on that last pic. He looks so proud and holds his head so high. It's "ruff" being the only boy
Love the pic!
