Happy Birthday to Arabella!
Both of mine (from different breeders, even!) kept their puppy colors of black and tan. They shifted a bit, but black and tan they are. It amazes (amuses?) me when I see pics of puppy-to-adult color changes. When the adult colors stabilize, they can be so beautiful, even if they don't become the standard "steel blue". Just think! Us human females have to pay big bucks to get a decent change in hair color, whereas Yorkies just have to wait a few months

From what I've learned of Yorkies, Arabella will be very happy to fill in for your skinkid while she's at college. And the upside? Arabella won't ask to borrow the car keys and return it with an empty tank, will always make curfew, and won't come home with tons of dirty laundry to wash because only YOU know how to get them *really* clean
