I was hoping if some of you could post pictures of adult dogs that you feel have the proper color of gold/tan. I notice a lot of variation in some lines. Some seem to be more of what I call a rich tan and others are a rich gold. I am not sure if one is more proper than the other. I have been told by some show breeders that the proper gold would be like a wedding ring gold. I know the shaded gold (dark at the roots) is desirable but it seems that not all show Yorkies have the shaded gold. Maybe this is another one of those things where it is just up to the interpretation of the beholder. I would love input from all of you. |
This is a good question for those of us who are learning here. Hugs, Lee
