I dont know whats what I'm very confused as I want to breed both of my both of my girls. I just want to be sure of what I have here and what if any differences there are. Lily my older one weighs 15 lbs and is a silver blue with long silkie hair. Our 1 yr old weighs 8 lbs and is black in the body and reddish in her face. My older one looked the same as my lil one as a pup, but she looks totally different in color now that she is 2. Our new one looks the same as she (our older one) did as a pup. Please help, tried to send pics but couldnt for some reason. any suggestions or help would be apprieciated.

HI there welcome to YT! Are they registered with the AKC? The standard for the yorkshire terrier is not to exceed 7lbs. I'm sorry but both your girls are over the standard size and in my opinion you shouldn't breed. At least I wouldn't if I was in your place. Maybe you could post this in the breeders section and get more answers from some good reputable breeders.
If you wanted to breed your girls it would be wise to get them all the breed appropriate health testing to make sure they are a good represation of a yorkie.
