As you all know, I love the colors. I agree with Sue. They are all yorkies. The yorkie breed carries many hidden genes so when two yorkies, carrying that same hidden gene, are mated, they can produce a variety of colors. Not good, not bad, just different.
They pose no threat to the "standard" traditional colored yorkies, and they do not have any more health issues than any other yorkie.
The information on the YTCA website is not complete. They post what they want people to know.
At one time the maltese was shown in the same class as the Yorkishire Terrier, "Broken Haired Scottish Terriers". It only stands to reason that if they were considered the same type of dog, that they were bred to each other.
A yorkie in any other color is still a yorkie. It's not the color that makes a yorkie, it's the personality. |
