Usually a Yorkie puppy will start to "break" color down the back, starting at the back base of the skull. When you part the hair, you will start to see a lighter blue color coming in at the roots behind the black puppy hair. Usually the sooner they "break", the lighter the blue will be. But, most will have started to break by one year of age or they will stay black and as they get older it might fade to a claricle gray. Sometimes it take 3 years for the head to totally clear to a beautiful shaded tan. |
