The female had 2 puppies and both were Chocolate. For this to happen, something had to happen to the dna. The female was bred artifical and I believe there must have been a reaction to the rubber and or plastic in the breeding. This is not a ressive gene as many think it is. What happens is the color gene is mutated. Fox and mink ranchers call this the cinnimon which in turn has developed many colors from this mutation. Hope this info helps. Wayne |
Since I joined yt, there has been much controversy about choc yorkies.. and how bad breeders are who breed them..I have seen breeders attacked on this forum for having choc yorkies... I for one appreciate the information you put here.. and to know that you have good lines proves that to me choc yorkies are not as bad as what it is made out to be..
I do not have a choc yorkie.. but I love their coloring from what I have seen.. and I would love to see pictures of those babies as they grow..
also welcome to yt... anne
