Question Question for those with lighter-colored yorkies

I know I'll never know Thor's true lineage. I've seen some other yorkies who are colored very similarly to him, and in everything but color, he is very yorkie, so I'm sure he's not a morkie... however, lately I've been wondering if one of his grandparents or great-grandparents might have been a maltese. He came from a pet store "specalizing in small dogs" so who knows what went on there.

Anyway, I had a question for those of you with grey doggies. Thor's hair is actually not grey, it is white mixed in with black. His hair is very fine and it's practically every other hair, so even up close, it looks like a solid grey.

Is this the case with other blonde yorkies, or is each hair actually grey? I'm wondering if this is a sign of a maltese lurking back there somewhere.

He's completely darling either way and of course I love him with all my heart. I guess it's something that will always nag at me a bit, unless I do a genetic test, but it seems like even then, it seems like people can get false negatives. Anyway, just wondering.
