I think there is a big difference in "silver" yorkies. They have lighter colors than a steel blue yorkie, BUT they do not have a possible death sentence hanging over them because of their coloring. A Blue born puppy is facing a whole lot more than just a different color. IF they live, and IF they stay healthy, that in itself is a miracle in my opinion. Yes, some survive. They are the exceptions. I just think there is a difference in a "flaw" such as silver hair and a "defect" as in a blue born puppy.
I am in no way trying to say that these babies don't deserve a chance. And if they were mine, I would do whatever I could to keep them healthy and pray that they stay that way. All I am saying that I think is wrong is that once a pair has had this kind of DEFECT, they should not be bred again no matter what. EVEN though the other puppies survived and seem to be doing ok. THey are the lucky ones. And luck always runs out sooner or later.
As for a silver tan parent. If you are not buying a puppy to show, there is no reason not to get a silver/tan or a black/gold or any color as long as it is genetically healthy.
