hi.... years back i did some research on this and discovered that my female carried a gene, that cause the skin pigmentation to be red/blonde instead of the blue scalp that yorkies have. it is just a blessing from nature...sorta like an albino.this can be carried for several generations down...my female has been blessed with a solid blonde[exotic gold] pup in each of her past five litters...they are beautiful to look at..i kept the last one,and retired the mommy. daddy is black/tan mommy is cream and silver and little dauughter is strawberry blonde..ill soon post a pic or two of them...in the area i live in....people raise their eyebrows in disbelief when i tell them shes a true yorkie. the vet called her a throw- back....shes our bundle of joy........tb |
