What were her mother and fathers coat? That can give a pretty good indication but not written in stone!.......its all about genetics.

What ever color your yorkie turns out to be will be pretty! Its kinda fun not knowing really, and since their coats dont fully mature for 2 years........you can get all kinds of variations, but my favorite is the rich gold with black, so black its blue, which I know because of my stud Duke, its gorgeous but hes only 14 months, who knows he may change.
I also love the white almost silver.........it may not be a show coat but it is so darn pretty....and I am referring to a high gloss silk....I love that.
