I used to have a neighbor,( when I lived in Raleigh,NC) who had a father and son blond Yorkies. I asked her what kind of dogs they were and she told me they were American Terriers. Later she told me they were actually Yorkshire terriers but the breeder was trying to get them registered as American Terriers cause the Yorkshire Terrier club was not agreeable to the color.

This was waaaaay back in the 70's when she told me this, I have no idea of where the breeder lived. I think she,(the orgional breeder) gave up as I have yet to see them as a separate breed, or acceptable show color. I have also seen many beautiful silver colored Yorkies but that is apparantly not an acceptable color in the ring either.

I actually like those colors though! A Yorky is a beautiful,cute elegant dog, no matter what the colors!
