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.

Don't worry too much... my baby is very light gray with beige face in little tan around his mussle...and I got him from a pure bred breeder...but beside the coloring he's very yorkie and he's two now the coloring hasn't change one bit. Our babies are just what the call a blondie
