I totally agree. If they clear too soon - you will have a lighter color yorkie. I prefer one rich in color - and those do not clear right away. I prefer them clearing between 2 and 3 years of age. Many of your European breeders will tell you the same thing. With richer color - JMO - you get better structure.
