Yes, they most certainly DO have Yorkies that are gold at maturity! The silver blue is the most desired color in a show dog, but Yorkies can come in many different combinations of color. Higgins is nice and silver blue now, but will get lighter and lighter I think. His father was very light silver and his mother was mostly gold with some silver on her back. If you look in the photo gallery here, you'll see quite a variety of color and coat.
While $700 and $800 is a LOT of money, it is on the lower end for Yorkies. Our little breed has gotten VERY expensive!!! If you look around the internet, the going prices are over $1000 and often $2-3000 for pups. The "teacup" Yorkie camping near us this winter was from Canada and they paid $3,500 for her. She is now four years old and weighs 5 lbs.
I would definitely pursue finding out what you DO have, as far as you are able to do so. But in the final analysis, Yorkies can be very different, even in the same litter. However, if it can be proved that your pups are NOT as represented, then the breeder should be taken to task with AKC and possibly the courts.
Keep us posted, and in the meantime, give Toby and Monty a hug from us! |
