yes, I would have to say that is true. That is one reason many show breeders suggest starting with a male to show. Most females that have the true silky steel blue coat get lighter each year and turn more of a silvery blue. Females with a cottony coat that are black as young adults usually turn to a dark clerical gray as they age. Many peope confuse this dark grey with steel blue. Even the male Yorkies get light as they age but not a rapidly as the females do. |
