Correct color in the yorkie isn't easy to breed for so show breeders are very careful to keep incorrect color out of their breeding program. Here's a pic of Denali, she's a very dark blue at 17 months and hasn't cleared on her head yet. |
Thank you for your very qualified explaination of the colors. Your kids are absolutely stunning. I did a search on redlegs because I am not very familar with the term - and I would like to thank you also, because every time someone has asked about redleg yorkies, you have been there with photos and a very qualified explaination.
